Clarisse Design

Clarisse Design is founded by artist and designer Xavier Clarisse and is based in Durban, South Africa.

Originally from Lyon, France, Xavier Clarisse attended ‘L’Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts’ specializing in sculpture and product design and has worked in France, the UK and now South Africa.

Drawing from its local, natural surroundings, Clarisse Design lighting represents the abundant sub-tropical vegetation and vibrant color found in Durban, while experimenting with different materials including leather and brass to bring the designs to life.
