Statement
I'm Esteban
Clisson, a French-Mexican designer, raised in Spain and currently based in
Milan. My practice is driven by encounters. Researching how materials,
typologies and spatial conditions shape perception, I’m always seeking to create
new rituals and modes of inhabitating that expand the possibilities of everyday
experience.
Influenced
by philosophy, poetry and visual culture, I’m interested in creative processes
that balance intuition and analysis. Approaching design as a dialogue, form and
function follow the situations I want to create, because I believe objects can generate
new territories that invite alternative ways of relating to the world around us.
I’m currently looking for opportunities and collaborations within interdisciplinary and research-driven environments. Feel free to reach out via email or Instagram.

DESCRIPTION
“Based on this experience, it is possible to assert that it is undeniable that the definition of design itself is the subject of a consensus. All design actors we questioned agree on a common definition, a definition that is hardly ever questioned. Nevertheless, it is in the very application of this definition that the problem arises. Indeed, during our discussions, we were able to see that the consensus that exists on the definition of design disappears completely when actors are presented with practical cases.”

Due to timings complexity and constant overthinking, the full content of the book is still in development. Anyway the actions carried during Milan Design Week 2024 are a kind of theory on its own, maybe ethereal, maybe wrong, but as real as the street is.
