Sophie Dries

Architect and designer HMNOP, Sophie Dries is a graduate of ENSA Paris-Malaquais and Aalto University in Helsinki. She was also trained in Contemporary Art at L’École du Louvre. The quintessence of material and craftsmanship, are at the heart of her work: combining traditional artisanal techniques with new contemporary know-how, whether it be in her interior architecture projects or for her furniture creations. Surrounded by exceptional craftsmen, she uses her knowledge of materials and constant experiments with them, practicing new ideas and methods in order to achieve "the cosmic essence of matter”, a concept that was held dear by Brancusi.
