Beyond the aesthetics
Designer of Kumo, San & Solid
With a practical understanding of product usability and an eye for fine
details, Lionel Doyen (1978) takes a slightly different approach to design and
development. Specialised in service, product and industrial design, the French
designer aims to create on a more personal and experimental level, always
keeping the customer’s experience in mind. His style can best be described
as innovative and timeless, as he consistently looks beyond mere aesthetic
appeal. He designed the Kumo, San & Solid collections for Manutti, blending
design with everyday comfort. In 2013, he launched his own design studio.
