About the artist

Christophe Gaubert is an Industrial Designer, born in France in 1972, and graduated from the prestigious French Design School ENSCI-Les Ateliers in 1996.

Developing a transversal design approach, his creations range from the electronics to the luxury industry, from furniture to museography, working for multiple companies and institutions in Europe and Asia.

At the same time, he teaches in the best design schools, spreading what he calls a «Design Being» philosophy. Many of his former students hold strategic positions in the most critical areas of the design industry around the world, unanimously acknowledging the long-term impact of his teaching.

Since 2017, he has joined the Division of Industrial Design at the National University of Singapore, where he leads the Design Incubation Centre, a research lab dedicated to the emergence of a new generation of Singapore Designers and the identification of new Design territories.

His professional and academic practice converge towards a philosophy of Visionary Design, questioning the emerging phenomena that allow anticipating societal, cultural and technological mutations, and identifying alternative opportunities for sustainable innovation.

Beyond producing images, Christophe uses photography as input to his design practice. For him, it is a tool for exploring reality, an opportunity to grasp things from a different angle, to shift perspective to better understand a context, to generate reflexion, and to trigger the imagination.
