CHARLES DESSERT

Hello, I’m Charles, a designer based in London with roots in France.

After a successful career in marketing within the luxury hotel sector, the unforeseen challenges of the pandemic served as a catalyst for change, steering me towards pursuing my passion for design—a decision that led me to immerse myself in the studies at London Fields Design School and gain practical experience with an independent furniture retailer.

My design philosophy is characterized by a profound fascination with the intersection of ancient wisdom and future possibilities. Specializing in furniture and product design, along with ventures into 3D visualization and graphic design, my work strives to be a testament to the enduring beauty and complexity of our past.

Drawing inspiration from the dawn of civilization in Mesopotamia to the enigmatic narratives of early medieval Europe, I aim to infuse each piece with an “ancient-future” quality. This approach is a deliberate choice to lay a foundation of historical richness that inspires innovation and creativity.

With my designs I thrive to connecting eras, cultures, and stories in a dialogue between the past and present. By integrating timeless elements with contemporary design principles, my ambition is to create pieces that are not only functional but also deeply meaningful. This commitment to blending the wisdom of ages past with modern aesthetics drives me to continually explore new boundaries and challenge the conventions of design.

As I navigate this new phase of my career, my resolve is fortified by a relentless pursuit of growth, learning, and evolution. Fuelled by a desire to weave pieces of history into our contemporary spaces, my designs aspire to create experiences that resonate on a personal level, transforming everyday environments into narratives rich with ancient tales and future possibilities.

Thank you for taking a moment to explore my portfolio.
