Sommaire

Via the Parisian creative house La Jungle, Marc Ange has created unique pieces of furniture that express a child-like sense of imagination and yet are far from childish. The design of each piece, whether a chair, couch, or table, is the product of a unique alchemy that brings together creativity and the physical world. Marc Ange’s collections are the result of diligent work and an unconditional love of pure-hearted charm and the extraordinary.

Furniture imbued with memories

Each piece is a fragment of a dream that has been transcribed into the universal language of beauty. For the designer, who was born in Rome, the world of artistic creation is forever balanced between real and unreal, perfection and error, harmony and randomness. However, it is in Paris, where he grew up, that Marc Ange developed his artistic passion by creating Bloom Room, an agency specialised in creating one-of-a-kind items for the home.

Design in the world of dreams

Marc Ange’s works are the most photographed of any professional trade fair. In addition to apartments, vehicles, luxury products, and fragrance bottles, the artist, who now splits his time between Paris and Los Angeles, also designs luxury residences whose design is influenced by Californian style, French elegance, and Italian lyricism. Clearly, poetry and beauty are the designer’s trademark.
