David Dubois is an independent designer and scenographer. He graduated from l’ENSCI - les Ateliers (Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle, Paris) in 2003, he currently lives and works in Paris. David chose to develop his work in the areas of design and fashion. He alternates between research projects, commissions, collaborations and many self initiated projects and pieces.
His approach is characterized by an ongoing commitment to create new objects and invent new functions by combining, recycling and adapting useful objects and unexpected items and by using them in a totally new way. He creates a new appropriation and research of our everyday environment.
His objects are marked by continuous experimentations and associations of different materials, with a particular attraction to textiles and flexible materials.
Since the creation of his own studio - duboisproduct - in 2005, David Dubois works for brands, manufacturers, museums and galleries. He has notably collaborated with Bless, Martin Szekely, Issey Miyake, l'Herbe rouge, Christian Lacroix, Lalique, Kronenbourg, the Mudam, the Villa Noailles, the CIAV, the CIRVA and the Kadist Art Foundation. His work is produced by Bless, FR66, gallery MICA, gallery Sémiose, Ilivetomorrow, CIAV and the gallery Kreo in Paris, which represents him today.
His objects are included in public and permanent collections of the Centre George Pompidou, FNAC (Fonds National d¹Art Contemporain, Paris), FMAC (Fonds Municipal d'Art Contemporain, Paris), Mudam, Villa Noailles and Grand-Hornu.
