Atelier Vecteur is a young collective, set up in 2010 around Cléo Deschaintes, Coline Giardi, Nicolas Suissa, Thomas Dalby and Ugo Elziere. Architects, graphic artists and designers, they all spent time at Montpelier’s National Higher School of Architecture. Graduates of the School of Architecture, the School of Arts and Crafts and the School of Film and Special Effects, and benefiting from a wide variety of professional experiences across the world – in Ireland, Australia, China and Germany – the Atelier’s members owe their dynamism to a confrontation of multidisciplinary skills. Through the interaction of different creative fields, “Atelier Vecteur” seeks to be a laboratory of ideas and a tool for their expression.
