The studio

The story of a wild idea.

A drive towards the beautiful, the practical and the sustainable. We start from what you want, build your vision from it, and make interior design accessible to as many people as possible.

Ouvrage is also the story of a partnership. Mayssa El Fakir co-founded the studio in 2020. Mélissa Pluchino joined in 2022 and became its director in 2026. A creative conversation each of them had started on her own, and which has taken shape every day since they met.
