biography

Wendy Andreu
B. 1990, France

Born in 1990, Wendy Andreu is a French designer whose practice lies at the intersection of design, craftsmanship, and material research. Trained at École Boulle in Paris and later graduating from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2016, she has developed an experimental approach in which the making process plays a central role.

Her work is notably defined by the creation of Regen, a composite material combining cotton rope and silicone, developed during her studies. Using this distinctive technique, Wendy Andreu creates objects, furniture, and textile surfaces whose graphic structures emerge directly from gesture and material. Her research explores the relationships between form, use, space, and craftsmanship, while placing particular emphasis on precision of execution and the physical presence of the works.

She received the Public Prize at the International Festival of Fashion and Photography in Hyères, as well as the Dorothy Waxman Textile Design Prize in 2017, and was named Rising Talent France at Maison&Objet in 2020. A resident at CIRVA in Marseille from 2022 to 2024, she was awarded the Grand Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris in 2024, in the Révélation Design category.

Through an independent and deeply craft-based practice, Wendy Andreu transforms familiar materials and objects into new forms that are at once functional, sculptural, and narrative. Her work invites us to reconsider the value of objects, their potential for transformation, and the relationships they establish with the bodies and spaces around them.
