piKs design, A family affair

At piKs design, everyone’s know-how and influences intersect, collide and mingle. Family is their basis; meet a credo.

Christine and Pierrick, graduates from Rubika (FR. Valenciennes), together with Sylvain – specialising in marketing – have completed a Master in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management at the IAE (France, Lille) and co-founded piKs in 2005.

Originating from industrial culture and the arts, the designers pay attention both to distant cultures and to their everyday surroundings. As adherents of creative eclecticism, they combine craftsmanship and industrial thinking to reinvent the relationship between user and object, playing with a permanent readjustment of the repertoire of forms with elegance, simplicity and pragmatism.
