Andrée Monje: Spanish Artist and Designer
Early Life and EducationAndrée Monje is a Spanish artist and designer known for creating imaginative interior objects. After graduating from the Superior School of Design (ESDI) with a specialization in fashion, she began her career in 1999 as a collaborator with Antonio Miró.
Career Journey
For the next eight years, Monje divided her time between Spain and England, working for companies such as Comité, Zara, Ted Baker, and Jonathan Saunders. In 2005, she relocated to London to pursue her creative vision and transitioned her career into developing broader fashion concepts that encompassed textiles, illustrations, crafts, photography, and audiovisuals.
In 2009, Monje graduated from Central Saint Martins with a Samsonite Design Award for her designs. Her work, characterized by poetic and captivating qualities, has been featured in international exhibitions such as 100% Design and Wallace Space.
Notable Projects
While based in London, Monje has collaborated on window displays for ABC Home in New York, designed sets for fashion shoots published in Viewpoint Magazine and Stylesight, created interior objects for Elizabeth Leriche at Maison et Objet in Paris, and conceptualized innovative interiors for Mint Shop in London and experimental surfaces for Le Glass Bar in Paris.
Bread Table Installation
In 2010, Monje gained recognition for her unconventional bread table installation showcased at the London Design Festival. This installation featured an edible table setting where all the utensils, plates, and napkins were crafted from flour and water.
"Rainy" Mirror Tables
In 2011, Monje once again surprised audiences with her unique "rainy" mirror tables. By leaving mirror-surface tables out in the rain, she captured extraordinary patterns and streaks on their surfaces, rendering each object a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
