Created in 2007 in Toulouse by Hanika Perez and Brice Genre, A + B is a research and design studio in the fields of object design, space design and global design.
The work of A + B is based on a careful and in-depth study of the context and on a cross-reference base, from human sciences to various artistic fields. A + B thinks its projects as tools open to practices and uses, tools to « inhabit » that must be sensitive, intelligible and appropriable. The poïetic dimension, the search for simplicity and the economy of means to give shape to the technical and functional issues, guide the design of the productions.
In parallel with their agency activity, Hanika Perez is a professor of design at the Higher Institute of Arts in Toulouse and Brice Genre is a Doctor in Design and Associate Professor at the University of Toulouse Jean Jaurès.
A+B received differents international contests awards: Parckdesign 2007, Nespresso Design Contest 2008, Design Parade 2010, Observeur du Design 2010, FD100 by VIA 2019.
