Lina Chi is a French-Chinese designer who trained at ENSAAMA in Paris and then at Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands. Based in Paris and working between France and Belgium, her practice exists at the intersection of craftsmanship and semi-industrial design, focusing primarily on the object scale. Her research relies on observing matter and analyzing it through prototyping-in-action, questioning the forms and uses of everyday materials through a commitment to sustainability. Working as both an object designer and a researcher, she relies on collaborations with craftspeople as well as industrial partners (Forbo, Canon, Kohlschein, petit h Hermès, Cityfab of bruxelles). Her recent work with paper was exhibited at Maison Hannon in 2025 in Bruxelles.
