Violaine Buet is a multidisciplinary designer with a background in humanities. After earning her diploma in industrial design, she developed a deep passion for textiles, which led her to spend several years immersed in traditional craft communities.This hands-on experience strengthened her belief that the true beauty of any design lies in the harmony and respect shared between all the hands involved in its creation. Upon returning to France, she continued her exploration of materials and textiles, eventually focusing her research on seaweed and macro-algae. Today, she runs her own studio dedicated to the creative development of algae-based materials. Violaine collaborates with a network of researchers, experts, and artisans, aiming to transform these ancient marine plants into innovative applications for fine arts, haute couture, scenography, decoration, and industry.
