Olivier Felix Isselin is a French-Italian artist, designer, and director. His work explores the intersections between art, design, and visual culture, through projects ranging from the creation of objects and spaces to audiovisual production. His approach is defined by a refined, elegant aesthetic—stripped of any artifice.
Trained in architecture, he has worked in event production, communications, and has directed several contemporary art galleries. This eclectic background has shaped a transversal vision of creation, where aesthetic precision meets project discipline.
Today, Olivier Felix Isselin leads multiple activities in parallel: furniture design, scenography, spatial design, as well as the full conception of a major museum dedicated to crystal and glass—an ambitious international cultural project. In parallel, he develops audiovisual productions that extend his core ambition: to make the beauty of form accessible, and to reveal the impact of design in our lives—whether through objects, spaces, or images.
Being an artist means having an enhanced and personal perception of one’s environment and expressing it freely through various mediums. Art is the result of this expression.
Design, on the other hand, differs in the sense that it is not self-centered on its creator but primarily addresses the user, making it highly dependent on function. The technique, material(s), and ergonomics of the created object are all elements to be considered during the design process.
However, the designer is no less an artist. In addition to problem-solving, creativity is essential for the designer, giving the created object its own personality.
Ultimately, the common denominator of art, design, as well as architecture and urbanism, is the human being and their relationship to space.
