FRANCK BLAIS
A graduate of the Beaux-Arts, Franck Blais began his career as a set and costume designer, moving between the Parisian music scene and emerging French choreographic productions. In 1999, he designed the visual identity for FIAC (Foire Internationale d’art contemporain), merging his passion for art and graphic design.
He later collaborated with cultural institutions such as the Picasso Museum and the Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine, as well as luxury brands including Gucci, Rochas, Givenchy, Fendi, and Cartier, working as an independent artistic director. In 2008, he founded Warmgrey, a visual communication agency, and L’Espace d’en bas, a contemporary art gallery.

KARINE ARABIAN +FRANCK BLAIS = JN.MELLOR CLUB
In 2019, Karine Arabian and Franck Blais joined forces to create JN. MELLOR CLUB, an artist duo dedicated to designing iconoclastic objects. Drawing on their rich backgrounds, they transitioned from creating accessories to objects, evolving into a deliberately unclassifiable practice at the crossroads of design, art, and the poetry of everyday life.
Today, their work is showcased in art galleries, featured at design fairs, and sought after by luxury houses. They also collaborate with performers, creating objects/sculptures that serve as opportunities for use, conditions for movement, and the possibility of their own mythology.
