Besançon, France
Independant designer based in Paris, Dorian Étienne combines in his work crafts and industry through a humanist and eco-friendly design approach.
Anchored in near or distant territories, he observes cultures and histories, techniques and materials. The richness of the world's cultural heritages insp
ires him throughout his work. Following this lead thread, braided of Human and Nature, he creates sensible and sensitive products : “objets métissés”.
Furthermore, experimentation is at the heart of his creation. The new features of the material are his library of ideas ; then he invents new uses.
Fundamentally his approach is respectful of the environment and humans.

"I will never stop being amazed by how designers are pushing the boundaries by creating sustainable products. Nuclée is a lamp created from discarded banana flesh and it is….truly bananas! The French designer duo came up with the concept and produced it during a six-month residency at the National Ta
iwan Craft Research Institute (N.T.C.R.I.) in Taiwan."
"When it comes to designing a new product, sometimes it’s not about creating something entirely new but about finding ways to make an existing product more sustainable. In the case of Nuclée lamps, the “light bulb idea” evolved from traditional methods of using banana fiber."
