Marianna Ladreyt

Eyes on Talents member, Marianna Ladreyt, is participating in the 8th edition of COLLECTIBLE, a Brussels-based fair dedicated to contemporary, collectible design, from Thursday 13 to Sunday 16 March. The designer is exhibiting with the Bureau du Design, de la Mode et des Métiers d’art alongside Antonin Mongin and Grégory Lacoua, all three winners of the Grands Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris, for the years 2024, 2021 and 2019. Patchworks of repurposed broken inflatables are the material of choice of Marianna Ladreyt, who set up her eponymous studio in 2019, which became a multidisciplinary design studio in 2022. In her Parisian workshop, the designer collects broken and non-recyclable inflatable pool floats, which she cleans, cuts and assembles to create a new, brightly coloured plastic material. She then creates unique accessories, bags and furniture that take us back to our summer memories.
