Mateo Villain is a French designer whose work moves across disciplines and materials.
Rooted in nature and shaped by a deep connection to places, his creations range from functional to dysfunctional poetic objects,
each telling its own story.
Guided by a keen awareness of contemporary and future challenges, his practice reflects a thoughtful and evolving dialogue with environmental, social, and industrial issues.
