Salomé Bazin is a french designer and artist, founder of experiential design studio Cellule. She holds a BA from Olivier de Serres in Paris and MA from Central Saint Martins London.
Starting as an assistant for award-winning stage designer Es Devlin, followed by work as a freelancer in media art, lighting and experience design; Bazin gained experience in her early years working for a portfolio of high profile clients including Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Samsung and WhiteCube, amongst others. She founded Cellule studio in 2018 , and was acknowledged by the British Design Council as one of the ’10 UK emerging design practice of 2018’.
Cellule is a design studio bringing a creative and collaborative approach to science and healthcare innovation, envisioning the future of the human body and health. Bazin’s work is a tension between digital art, experiential and scenography, a constant exploration of new mediums to relate to scientific phenomenons, evolving technologies and human physiology.
She is particularly interested in poetic-technologic experiences as a way to reconnect to our bodies.
