BehaghelFoiny

behaghelfoiny is the paris design studio of antoine behaghel and alexis foiny. they came to design through collectible design and work with industrial processes turned to their own ends: printed and folded aluminium, hand-bent tubes, 3d-printed lamps.

both founders studied object design at the ensad in paris. their practice moves between objects, scenography and image; for the duo, each project is a chance to bring together unconventional materials, techniques and know-how and to find a new method from them.

founded in 2019, the studio today takes a research-based approach: questions of standardisation, resources and the environmental crisis, taken on with a festive, transgressive eye.

'aluplié', from april 2025, starts in the digital printing workshop of the traphot laboratory. the ink is printed flat onto aluminium sheet, which is then folded into furniture, so the printed texture runs over the edges of the volume. the studio is its own editor and producer for the collection, working with traphot; the 'aluplié chair' is made in an edition of 8. in 2026 the 'aluplié' bookcase entered the acquisition campaign of the mobilier national.

an earlier line, 'tubulure' (2019), bends semi-industrial tubes by hand and covers them in coloured plaster: lamps, candleholders, seats. it won the pli public workshop at the pavillon de l'arsenal and was shown at galerie archik in marseille.

in 2026 the studio received the grand prix de la création de la ville de paris in the révélation design category. from 2024 to 2026 it is in residence at the ateliers de paris.
