« Garance Vallée, embodies a creative youth, with an uninhibited eclecticism. Graduated in architecture in 2017, she emancipated herself from the cutting plan in order to propose a global universe between drawing, painting, objects in volume and scenography. Inspired by the straight line, she transforms the angles, plays with the perspectives and imagines curious spaces, between realism and fantasy. An experimental and spontaneous approach, born of a need to free herself from the sometimes too normalized rules of the architectural design, in order to divert it. Based on her plastic compositions, Garance decides to extract certain pieces to make them in volume. A principle that allows her to bring to life her drawings and experiment shapes, matters and combination of colors. Objects with hybrid use, sometimes abstract, sometimes formal, to which she confers a strong architectural dimension. Made of concrete, wood or plaster, they all feature a mix of textures, which are characteristic of the designer’s graphic identity.» Adel Fecih, editorial director MILK magazine «Initiated into art by her mother and painter father, Kriki , Garance Vallée was graduated in architecture at the Ensa de Paris la Villette.

It was during the last Design Week in Milan that Garance was discovered, during a carte blanche given to her by Milanese press secretary Martina Gamboni. She had designed a living room where she celebrated the matter of the Mother Earth through an organic decoration with colourful texture and shapes. Her work. It is characterized by her great plurality, from architecture to scenography, from drawing to sculpture, including the design of objects. She creates a multiform personal universe with Ancient Greek and modernist influences. Starting from the drawing, she imagines original architectural scenes that sometimes lead to the production of objects in concrete, plaster or wood, with natural pigments that compose her mineral palette – ochre, terra-cotta, beige, off-white – and give to her sculpture an organic dimension.” Léa pagnier, journalist AD magazine
