In the vibrant setting of cote&ciel’s newly opened Parisian design studio, we had the rare chance to sit down with Emilie Arnault, the brand’s head of design, for an exclusive conversation. Emilie, who seldom shares her thoughts publicly, delved into the intriguing concept of ‘inbetween,’ exploring its ties to physics, the balance of ego, and the inherently messy nature of a designer’s work. This candid exchange offered an in-depth look at her vision and the philosophy shaping cote&ciel’s identity. As we unveil TECHUNTER 09, this story stands as a meaningful culmination of our journey — an opportunity we’re truly grateful to have had.
