Roxane Lahidji is a social designer specialised in ecological material developments and applications. Her research focuses on achieving luxurious looking objects and surfaces from low costs and raw resources.

With the deep concern of conciliating production and sustainability, her design
uses disregarded or cheap materials brought to a new life, while twisting low tech methods and traditional crafts techniques. She describes her practice as an alchemical journey by developing her own transforming and moulding methods.

Roxane Lahidji was born in Paris in 1992 and grew up in the french capital before studying illustration and product design in Strasbourg (HEAR).
After graduating from the Social Design department of Design Academy Eindhoven in 2017, Roxane Lahidji developed her project ‘’Marbled salts’’ and was awarded among the 100 best French international designers by FD100 price of the VIA and won the 2019 Bolia award.

Her studio is now based in Zaventem Ateliers where she produces her designs and collaborates with designers, artists and interior architects on custom projects.
