DESIGNER’S APPROACH
After years of close collaboration with artisans and craftsmen, Chemseddine founded his design label Né à Tunis: a new rediscovery of heritage used as a means to create -or co-create with artisans- contemporary pieces that are part of an ecoconception approach and an exclusively bilateral designer/artisan relation. His signature experimental method of design started with Ludic design and matured to a more diverse way of work, where expertise, resource and human contact intertwine.
