Sandra Benhamou
Born Paris, FRANCE 1973
A Parisian artist of Italian-Tunisian origins, Benhamou is guided by an instinct for storytelling and a highly cinematic vision to create elegant, eclectic, and sensual works. Inspired by a wide array of influences — from the architecture of Carlo scarpa and gio ponti to the films of Martin Scorsese and Pedro Almodovar — benhamou irreverently blends aesthetic styles and artistic references to cultivate works full of conviviality and character. Resolutely nonconformist, benhamou plays with contrasting materials and historical periods to create narratives of exquisite intrigue and tension
Her expressive, sophisticated work is characterized by subtle juxtapositions of natural materials and muted tones that create a sense of warmth, life, and nonchalance. Attentive to the smallest details, benhamou works closely with master artisans in france to produce collections in strictly limited edition. Her glamorous dreamscape of the 1970s, L’Appuntamento collection, and her homage to the minimalist Americana of Donald Judd, the Marfa collection, are studiotwentyseven exclusives
A self taught artist, benhamou is internationally lauded as a designer and collector. Her work has been featured at exhibitions around the world, including Paris design week, and has been published in architectural digest, vogue living, Elle decoration, and attitude. In 2023, she was named to the AD 100 in France

L’appuntamento collection
Exclusively for STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN, L’appuntamento draws inspiration from the evocative world of the 197os pop song of the same name. A favorite of benhamou’s, the dreamy ballad by Ornella vanoni is a sensual journey though the vagaries of love, its joys and torments. Benhamou captures that sentiment to cultivate a dreamscape of 1970s glamor, full of dark romanticism, bohemian chic, and dramatic opulence. Voluptuous curves and sinuous lines meet with rich materials in textural finishes to invite us into the languid and laissez-faire world of L’appuntamento
In crafting the works of the collection, Benhamou selected sumptuous materials of exceptional warmth and depth that immediately evoke romance and drama. These include dark velvet, glossy teak, vintage Murano glass, travertine, iroko wood, patinated brass, and rosewood, all Expertly finished to reveal their most luscious qualities. Handcrafted by master artisans in france, each work reimagines the ineffable spirit of 1970s italy with a contemporary twist and is available in strictly limited edition
