Jules Régis, born in 1998 in Palermo, is a French-Italian designer.

He grew up in Paris, studied architecture before settling in Palermo, Italy.
Sculptural form, materiality, and intuition are at the heart of his design approach. He follows in the footsteps of creators such as Jean Prouvé and artists like Alexander Calder, whose influence is particularly evident in the name of his chair “Calder Yellow.” In an increasingly serious and dramatic world, his creations aim to convey a positive energy, sometimes tinged with irony.

Jules Régis’s creative process combines digital technologies with a passion for vintage aesthetics. He shares his research with independent artisans such as the last tinsmith in Palermo or a family of chair caners, and engages in friendly discussions about the feasibility of his projects in the workshops of working-class neighborhoods with a carpenter, a blacksmith, an upholsterer, a ceramicist… Without ever losing sight of the goal of achieving formally free creation, he navigates between virtual design and ancestral or semi-industrial know-how, gradually refining forms and material assemblies.

The result is objects with dynamic silhouettes, sometimes enhanced by bold colors. Not taking oneself too seriously without lapsing into gimmickry, experimenting with freedom: this stance allows him to propose an optimistic and resolutely contemporary art of living, while giving the impression of timeless familiarity. His design asserts itself as an avant-garde, capable of transforming our daily lives without sacrificing conviviality.
