DESIGNER PORTRAIT LIONEL DOYEN
Lionel Doyen is specialised in service, product and
industrial design and product development. Since he
launched his own studio in September 2013 , he aims to
establish a more personal, more experimental approach
to product design and development. In partnership with
companies like Manutti, he hopes to promote a more
comprehensive strategy, taking into consideration the
customer’s relationship with the product and its use,
the innovative aspects and implementation more than
simply its aesthetic appeal.
