Roxane Lahidji is a social designer and the founder of Marble Salts, an award winning line of objects and furniture made of salt. Originally from Paris, she designs and creates in her workshop at Zaventem Atelier, just outside of Brussels. Although her work has been exhibited in galleries in London, New York, Dubai and Moscow, Augusta is the first gallery in Brussels to present her creations.
Roxane Lahidji developed and designed her first salt pieces in 2017, as her graduation project at the Design Academy Eindhoven. She immediately received proposals for collaborations and exhibitions. The Design Museum of Ghent, the CID Grand Hornu and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris acquired Marbled Salts pieces for their permanent design collections.
“ There’s a poetic connection to the sand and the sea, to the transparency of the snow. The texture of salt mixed with water takes me back to childhood. It’s a very contemplative relationship. Everyone sees something different in it, and that’s what I love about working with this material. ”
