About

Coline Le Quenven is a designer and artist based in London. She explores the future aesthetics of materials to encourage more sustainable practices, using design, material research, and craft to develop new narratives around human impact on Earth.

After discovering plastiglomerates — a new type of rock formed from plastic debris fused with natural materials — Le Quenven began transforming locally sourced plastic waste into delicate, decorative elements. She draws inspiration from different periods in art history, including Antiquity, Art Nouveau, and Baroque. Her work offers an almost literal reflection of contemporary society, combining digital technologies with traditional references to create a dialogue between past and present.

Her practice currently focuses on producing unique pieces as well as small series of functional objects.
