Marwane Soumer

Marwane Soumer is a French designer and artist of North African and European heritage, based between Doha (QA), Paris (FR), and Rotterdam (NL). Educated in interior architecture in Paris (FR), then in design in Bruxelles (BE), and a graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven (NL), his practice is shaped by a sensitivity to form, space, and cultural memory.

 

Working through Studio Soumer, he moves between collectible objects, installations, and large-scale public works, where digital fabrication meets hand-finished detail and narrative depth. His work explores how design can connect inherited knowledge with contemporary technologies, creating pieces that are both tactile and forward-looking.

 

Drawing from Arab, Mediterranean, and European references, Marwane develops projects that are materially expressive, emotionally grounded, and rooted in dialogue between place, identity, and making.

About the Studio

Studio Soumer is a multidisciplinary design practice founded by Marwane Soumer and based between Doha (QA), Paris (FR), and Rotterdam (NL). Working across collectible design, public art, furniture, and spatial installations, the studio develops projects where narrative, material research, and cultural context are central to the process.

 

Its practice moves between hand-crafted sensibility and advanced fabrication, using tools such as additive manufacturing, 3D printing, and hybrid making techniques to create works that feel both contemporary and deeply rooted.

 

Through site-specific commissions and independent research, Studio Soumer explores how design can reinterpret heritage through new forms, producing pieces that are tactile, thoughtful, and connected to place.
