Nathalie Ryan,
Satellite, 2021

For some, the first confinement meant a momentary halt to many activities, opening up a space-time conducive to creation. A seasoned architect and globe-trotter with a bubbling imagination, Nathalie Ryan is one of those spirits touched by the grace of spring 2020... A year later, through her collaboration with Édition 1.6.9, the designer delivered, with the Satellite collection, her magnified vision of a planet-earth whose preciousness is no longer in question...

Home to majestic, jealously-preserved landscapes, her native Canada still whispers the quasi-religious precepts of sovereign nature to architect Nathalie Ryan. Many of her projects, designed in perfect graphic and colorimetric harmony with their natural surroundings, attest to her renewed desire to pay tribute to the fundamental yet fragile balance of our planet, its fauna, flora and seasons...

In March 2020, his observation of the world changed perspective and marked the start of a fruitful collaboration with the expert teams at Édition 1.6.9, who created three Rugs , each representing an exceptional landscape seen from the sky.

Inspired by stunning NASA images, and drawing on her own experience in textiles and weaving, the architect draws on the technical know-how of Maison 1.6.9 to translate the majesty and infinite complexity of nature. The result of meticulous, meticulous work, the three-dimensional compositions Kamtchatka, Sierra and Utah play on textures, gradations and weaving techniques to reproduce the accidental beauty of natural landscapes with unprecedented mastery.

Nathalie Ryan

An architect without borders, Nathalie Ryan has been making a name for herself over the last ten years with Projects projects that reflect a holistic approach to interior architecture, with a strong emphasis on dialogue between cultures, materials and know-how.

Of Irish-French origin, Nathalie Ryan was imbued with the splendor of the scenery of her itinerant, outdoor childhood, as much as with the magic of materials in their natural state, which she enjoys transforming. Intuitive and sensitive, her approach to interior design today is one of narrative, appealing to the senses as much as to contemplation. Ten years' experience as head of architecture at the major French fashion house, Dior, for which she designed over 250 boutiques and showrooms, has also sharpened her knowledge of and respect for savoir-faire, her taste for the preciousness of made-to-measure as much as her appetite for art and craftsmanship.
