Nathalie Du Pasquier

Nathalie Du Pasquier is a French artist and designer who has lived and worked in Milan since 1979. In 1981, she was one of the co-founders of the Memphis Group. Her numerous designs for decorative surfaces and objects—including fabrics, carpets, furniture, and plastic laminates—played a key role in shaping the unmistakable Memphis style.

Despite her success as a designer, painting has been her primary activity since 1987. Du Pasquier’s ongoing artistic research encompasses paintings, sculptures, drawings, models, constructions, carpets, books, and ceramics, continually exploring the boundaries between representation and abstraction, the tangible and the intangible, reality and imagination, and two- and three-dimensional forms.

Her paintings have been exhibited in galleries and institutions around the world, including PACE Gallery, Camden Art Centre in London, Kunsthalle Lisboa, and Kunsthalle Wien. Nathalie Du Pasquier continues to design fabrics and collaborate with leading international brands.
