Sam Baron was born in France and studied Design at the École des Beaux Arts in Saint Étienne, before continuing his education at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Drawn to traditional construction methods, he reinterprets their language, questioning the value of contemporary material production.
He designs objects, exhibition projects and interiors, creating hybrid works that intertwine art and design. He works as an independent designer and consultant for international brands such as Dior Maison, Vista Alegre and Diptyque, a French icon of the art de vivre.
For ten years he was Design Director at Fabrica, Benetton’s communication research center based in Italy. In 2009 he received the Grand Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris for design, and in 2010 Philippe Starck selected him among the ten most influential designers of the next decade.
Today he lives and works between Portugal and France, which has recently awarded him the title of Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.
