Discover the Product Designs of Episode Studio

Based between Milan and Paris, Episode Studio was created in 2018 by French designers Nathan Baraness and Marina Daguet. The product design studio has a sharp look that runs on curiosity and eclecticism. Both Nathan and Marina find inspiration from old or forgotten objects, memories, colorful antiques, travels, and favorite films. Today we’re taking a look at three of their pieces in greater detail.

What would it take for a folding chair to be the most coveted seat at the table? Episode Studio gave it a fresh perspective and new level of comfort with L’Invitée, a chair made of beech wood and cotton canvas. The canvas is stretched over wood bars to create the illusion of a soft cushion, giving L’Invitée a light and comfortable look.
