côte&ciel is an homage to the productive collision of forces you’ll find at the meeting point between coast and sky. The elemental inspiration we find in the natural world is augmented at our home base in Paris. Our studio, in the Marais district, is ideally located within a city where the merging of art, spatial design, architecture and fashion is a long established tradition. The brand is the culmination of the divergent worlds of fashion and industrial design. Started in 2008, we design in an instinctual way - focusing equally on traditional design techniques as well as cultivating an open-minded philosophy that is willing to embrace both the forms and functions of the natural and industrial worlds. Our artistic vision is fueled by a constant pursuit of balance. We transform surface into volume, engineering and moulding each product as an expression of sculptural form. Our team has grown and now includes entrepreneurs, fashion, industrial and graphic designers, and product engineers. As a brand that sits at the pulse of culture and design côte&ciel regularly collaborates with other influential brands that push the boundaries of creativity such as Comme des Garçons, MYKITA, Y's, Pensole, John Undercover and Liam Hodges. The company is lead and represented by CEO and Managing Director Florian Beetz.
