Valerie Menuet is a French designer from Nantes, who, after working for years to the realisation of decorations in for theatres and performing arts, focused on creating objects that would allow her to combine her skills acquired in the field of lighting and her love for design and art. In her studio in Nantes, she began so to give life to unique creations, often with recycled and "unconventional" materials, halfway between the artistic effort of design and sculpture and the spirit behind upcycling trends. In these creations, Valerie also pays great attention to the functionality: each object has to durable and useful, as well as beautiful.
