Marie Bastide

Trained as a textile designer in Paris and Helsinki, Marie Bastide first learned the art and craft of floor covering while working for three years at Tai Ping Carpets. Now with her own design business where she has become known for a lyrical eye with a pop of whimsy, she has collaborated with such industry leaders as Bruno Borrione, Philippe Starck, Patricia Urquiola, India Mahdavi and Alberto Pinto. Bastide cultivates the art of detail and discovers the subtle work of creative interpretation, giving substance to clients’ dreams while still respecting the medium’s technical constraints.
