Phèdre Barbas

Phèdre Barbas is an artist and designer based in Paris whose work spans installation, design and research. She treats objects, materials and environments as systems of signs, analysing and recombining existing elements to expose the symbolic charge they carry and the narratives attached to them.

Trained at the Design Academy Eindhoven, where she graduated in 2024 with a research-driven and experimental approach, she builds projects through a dialogue between theoretical inquiry and material experimentation, moving between matter, space and mythology. Her work has been shown at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, the TextielMuseum in Tilburg and the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen in Dresden, and at design weeks in Paris, Milan and Eindhoven.
