About

Coline Le Quenven is a multidisciplinary designer and artist based in London. She explores the future aesthetics of materials to encourage more sustainable practices using critical design, research, and craft to create new narratives about the human impact on Earth.
After she discovered plastiglomerates, a new type of rock that forms through plastic debris melted with natural materials, Le Quenven began her journey of transforming local waste plastic into delicate, decorative elements. Her inspirations are scouted from different epochs in art history such as Antiquity, Art Nouveau and Barocco. Her pieces represent an almost literal reflection of contemporary society, using digital technologies in the production that creates a juxtaposition between the past and present.
Her practice revolves at the moment around producing unique pieces as well as functional objects in small series and collaborating with other designers.
