VICTORIA MAGNIANT
After graduating in graphic design from St Martin’s
School of Art in London in 2002, Victoria Magniant
began her career in the luxury goods industry before
becoming a designer of high-end furniture. She sees
each object as a sculpture, with an approach that
is both sensitive and minimalist. Her research into
wood, metal and glass has led her to make materials
ever more expressive. When she chooses a material,
she is also defending a culture, a knowledge and a
craft ethic. Victoria loves revealing the raw beauty of
materials and highlighting exceptional skills through
unique finishes.
Victoria Magniant won the Découverte prize at Maison
& Objet and the VIA label in 2015. She has also won
international recognition in a number of competitions
for the most influential designers. In 2021, she was
selected by AD magazine as one of the top 100
designers of the year.
STUDIO VM
Victoria Magniant holds the work of craftspeople
in high esteem, and places their expertise at
the heart of her designs. For the designer, her
collaborations only make sense if they are built
around a shared harmony between the skills of
each . From the imagination to the installation,
her design work can only be conceived
in an ecosystem nourished by encounters with
outstanding craftspeople. Victoria Magniant has
won over a clientele of design enthusiasts who
respect the values she conveys.
In 2015, she took over the Galerie Vivienne with
its showroom, located in the heart of the 2nd
arrondissement, in a district resolutely focused on
creativity.
Accompanied by her team of designers, Victoria
conducts bold experiments here, designing and
shaping the furniture of tomorrow. It’s a privileged
space dedicated to artistic expression, open to all,
where even customers are invited to participate.
In this way, Galerie V has become a veritable
catalyst for this collaborative creative process,
which helps to promote the creative ethic that is
so dear to her heart.
