F5: Marc Ange Reveals His Favorite Architect, Style of Cooking + More
Artist + designer Marc Ange shares the cinema he can't resist, his favorite thing about Los Angeles + more in this week's Friday Five.
Born in Rome, raised in Paris and now in Los Angeles, artist and designer Marc Ange is inspired by the surreal. He creates his work in the gap between art and design ? objects, spaces and furniture ? each marked by his life’s experiences.
In 2008, Marc opened the first Bloom Room (now Studio Ange), with a second location to follow upon his arrival in L.A.. The design agency specializes in interiors, luxury products, pieces of furniture, bottles of perfumes and more extraordinary creations. L.A. is also where he’s working on a new project, Nouvelle California. For it, Marc imagines residences with architecture and design influenced by “Californian style, French elegance and Italian lyricism”. In 2017, he co-founded the furniture brand LJ Edition and designed the first pieces of the collection, including Le Refuge, inspired by childhood memories. The latest Le Refuge was recently presented at Salone del Mobile in Milan.
