Born in Nantes, France, Eugénie lived with family abroad—in Reunion Island and Japan--for much of her childhood years. She attended L’insitut Superieur D’Arts Appliques in 2005, and completed her Masters in Industrial and Product Design at Creapole-ESDI Paris in 2009. Her interest in nature, antiques and different cultures has influenced her approach to design, often looking at diverse avenues for inspiration  and challenging the way things have always been made. For Eugénie, great design is simple and changes people’s everyday lives. Eugénie currently resides in Toronto, Canada.
