Studio Poirier Bailay | Sculptural Product and Textile Design Studio

Studio Poirier Bailay is a multidisciplinary design studio established in 2018 by designers Pauline Bailay and Hugo Poirier. Based in Paris, the studio operates at the intersection of product design, textile innovation, and scenography. Both founders are graduates of the prestigious École Boulle and ENSCI-Les Ateliers, bringing a high level of technical expertise and artistic vision to their collaborative projects. The studio is characterized by its exploration of the blurred boundaries between art and functional design, often focusing on the sculptural and decorative potential of everyday objects. Their portfolio includes a diverse range of furniture, textile works, and interior interventions that challenge traditional production models and lifestyles. Studio Poirier Bailay is known for a joyful, colorful, and festive aesthetic, which is realized through close collaborations with French artisans and companies. By prioritizing limited production runs and one-of-a-kind pieces, the studio promotes material experimentation and the preservation of artisanal expertise. Notable projects like the Fireworks series of vases, created with Diane Diebold, showcase their ability to integrate textile adornments into product design. Studio Poirier Bailay has gained international recognition, with their work featured in major exhibitions such as the Milan Triennale, Paris Design Week, and Design Parade Toulon. Their practice is deeply rooted in the philosophy that design serves as a form of storytelling and world-making, creating new imaginary territories through the reinterpretation of domestic archetypes. By focusing on the emotional and narrative qualities of objects, the studio continues to push the limits of contemporary design and craft.
