GGSV studio was created in 2011 by Paris-based designers Gaëlle Gabillet and Stéphane Villard, who both graduated from ENSCI / Les Ateliers (national school of industrial creation). Their association produces a unique expertise vouching for their multidisciplinary. Ranging from curatorial projects and scenography, to product design and interior design, their practice is plural, and regularly puts the space in place of the site for the experimentation of design.
Having had their work presented, among others, at the International Biennial of Saint-Etienne, at the MUDAC in Lausanne or at Centre Pompidou in Paris, GGSV’s projects are characterized by the setting of a dreamlike universe which is built in volume and yet addresses grounding issues regarding the culture of objects. The deployed objects, built from scratches, often navigate a fine line between the real and the unreal, between, what is generally accessible and understandable and what is not. For Galerie des Galeries, GGSV studio invites visitors of any age to come and have an experience embedded in the unreality of the tale.
Laureates of the VIA carte blanche in 2011, of the Paris Shop & Design prize in 2014 and of the city of Paris award FAIRE Paris in 2018, they also won the 2016 call for projects to reorganize the interior of the Museum of modern art in Paris in collaboration with H20 architects. The object they create are produced by Petite Friture (France), Gufram (Italy), Ege Carpets (Danemark). Between 2018 and 2019, they are fellows of Villa Medicis – the French Academy in Roma, to lead their research on illusion and ecology through the medium of painting.
