Roxane Lahidji is a social designer focusing on material innovation. Her work rethinks the value of raw and overlooked resources by transforming them into refined objects and surfaces, while addressing their environmental, political, and economic contexts. She combines renewable materials, low-impact production, and essential human values to explore how design can balance sustainability with meaning.

Describing her process as an alchemical journey, she develops her own methods of transformation and molding, often blending low-tech approaches with traditional craftsmanship.

Born in Paris in 1992, Lahidji studied illustration and product design at HEAR in Strasbourg, then graduated from the Social Design department at Design Academy Eindhoven in 2017. Her project Marbled Salts received multiple recognitions, including the FD100 award in 2019, 2022, and 2024, and the Bolia Design Award. She was recently recognized by Wallpaper magazine for her Yubiwa side table.

Her work is held in the permanent collections of the Design Museum of Ghent, the CID Grand Hornu, and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris. Based at Zaventem Ateliers, Lahidji continues to exhibit and sell her work internationally.
