Design Shades was founded by the product designer and trend researcher Charline Ronzon-Jaricot in 2019.
Known for her research on sense of smell and perfume, Charline started her career in product design and worked for designers such as Ross Lovegrove and Marcel Wanders. She worked on product and furniture collections as well as exhibition curation. She, then, shifted her career toward colour and materials and worked for Nissan as a CMF designer. She also started writing articles for trend studios like Colour Hive.
Charline created Design Shades to merge her passions together. She truly believes in the power of storytelling and the strength of a conscious design.
