AMBROISE MAGGIAR

Born in 1978, Ambroise Maggiar graduated from the prestigious ENSAD (École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris) in 2003. While his initial drawings reveal a deeply poetic approach, his final creations are defined by a rigorous, structurally sound methodology. Drawing on an impressive background that includes pivotal years at the renowned studios of Philippe Starck and Patricia Urquiola, Maggiar brings a rare blend of industrial sensibility and transversal expertise to his practice. Today, he advises artists, brands, and publishers on the development of comprehensive, cohesive product lines.

Established in Milan in 2020, Ambroise Maggiar Studio seamlessly navigates the realms of industrial production and haute craftsmanship. The studio’s diverse portfolio spans the luxury industry, contemporary collectible design, custom hospitality furniture, and high-end lighting and furniture collections. Maggiar’s distinctive strength lies in this ability to remain fiercely analytical and methodical, while consistently infusing his work with a poetic signature aimed at driving aesthetic and functional longevity.

Committed to passing on knowledge and leveraging design for social impact, Maggiar is a Lecturer at the Politecnico di Milano. Additionally, since 2018, he has been an active board member of the NGO Libraries Without Borders (Bibliothèques Sans Frontières), where he designs innovative deployment tools aimed at facilitating global access to education, culture, and information.
