Roxane Lahidji was born in Paris in 1992 and grew up in atmosphere of freedom and creativity of the French capital before studying illustration and product design in Strasbourg (HEAR).
In her first year of study at the Design Academy Eindhoven, Roxane completed an internship with the Luma Foundation in the south of France, working with local resources and technologies. She was assigned to a “salt” project, and she loved working with this material so much that salt became not only the basis of her project, but also of all further work.
Roxane Lahidji is a social designer specializing in ecological material developments and applications. Her research focuses on achieving luxurious-looking objects and surfaces from low costs and raw resources. In this sense, she seeks to redefine the meaning of the objects she makes by balancing local and renewable resources, environmentally friendly production processes, and essential human values. With the deep concern of conciliating production and sustainability, her design uses disregarded or cheap materials brought to a new life, while twisting low-tech methods and traditional crafts techniques. She describes her practice as an alchemical journey by developing her own transforming and molding methods.
