Born in the Paris region, Matteo Voisin’s initiation into the fashion landscape began at the precocious age of eleven, introduced by his brother to the nascent sneaker-trading scene of Le Marais. He quickly gravitated toward the epicenter, meeting Arthur Kar at Supreme and assembling a collective of "kids" for L’Art de l’Automobile. As a recognizable figure within major campaigns and their surrounding subcultures, he was exposed early on to a constellation of personalities and artistic mediums that would indelibly mark his inspirations and technical praxis. Before even completing his Baccalaureate in 2023, he had already partnered with several brands—a period that instilled in him an appetite for the collaborative spirit he continues to cultivate in London alongside entities and artists such as 180 Strand, Gabriel Moses, and ALASKA ALASKA. Currently based in London to attend the prestigious Chelsea College of Arts for Product and Furniture Design, he has begun exhibiting his work between Paris and Tokyo. Synthesizing each project and experience, Voisin maintains an intellectual posture—engaged yet subtle—transforming elementary forms into precious interpretations of the global cultures he traverses. A MUST SEE ONE.

- SLN: How would you describe your relationship with the vegetal?
M. V.: The West has dissociated Man from Nature. We are Nature, and we must naturally consider the creation of appropriate systems.
Voisin has developed Artefacts Schemas Domaines (ASD), a design practice that embodies an ethical framework parallel to capital. It explores the materiality of the object where it meets tradition and contemporary narrative. In many of his projects, the object’s form is subverted by a poetics of utility, without ever forsaking the primacy of the material itself. The genesis of this grounding is marked by The Foot Hanger, which transforms a biological organ—the artist’s own foot—into a reproducible artifact destined for a truly absurd, yet functional, use. Hovering on the edge of sculpture, these pieces are occasionally exhibited in galleries, contributing to a total conception of creation where utility and contemplation coexist.
With Mattainai (Tokyo, 2025), a collection of 35 unique incense burners, Voisin reflects on material value by repurposing discarded wood fragments. Each piece is composed and assembled by hand, elevating debris into ritual objects that resonate with their specific production context. In Japan, where material and craft carry profound cultural and emotional weight, this series finds its spiritual home. Simultaneously, the Black Zodiac series proposes a different integration of the ancestral and the resilient. For this collection of chairs, he draws inspiration from the Japanese technique of Yaki-Sugi (charred wood), staining them a deep, midnight blue—a nod to the pursuit of permanence against fire and decay.

SLN: Who is the deceased personality you would like to share a day with?
M. V.: Glenn Gould
The work of Matteo Voisin exists at the confluence of disparate inspirations, merging cultural positionings and disciplines: art, craftsmanship, music, and visual culture intertwine with both ancestral traditions and contemporary discourse. His project H20—the first realized in London—serves as a visual manifesto for this holistic approach to the object. Blending architecture, spatiality, and sound, the piece invites the viewer to experience the physical vibrations of music. Accompanied by a film, the project was conceived alongside a musical performance by wi_Lio, who produced an experimental sonic capsule specifically for the piece, now available across major streaming platforms.
The collaborative principle is essential to Matteo Voisin's practice. Within Maker’s Asylum, a dynamic community space in Moira, North Goa, dedicated to the exchange of knowledge and creativity, he naturally sought to embody this spirit. He designed and fabricated in situ a connection bench in just two days, exclusively using locally sourced hardwood. Beyond its function, the piece carries with it a methodology of collaboration and artisanal transmission.
Saints la Nuit is delighted to count Matteo Voisin among its key collaborators.
