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

Marfa collection
A studiotwentyseven exclusive, The Marfa collection pays tribute to that remote desert town, iconic for its distinctive spirit that celebrates immersive, minimalist art rooted in the natural landscape. Benhamou captures the elementary energy that Donald Judd uncovered in Marfa in the 1970s and distilled into a manifesto for contemporary minimalism: art in situ, modest industrial materials, an obsession with simplified geometry, functional objects and spatial transformation. Following in the footsteps of iconic Marfa artists like Judd, frank Stella, and Agnes Martin, benhamou encapsulates the soul of the place and the essence of minimalism in her collection
Crafted in solid wood and natural materials, the collection makes ingenious use of Elm, cork, pine, raffia, ash, cherry, wool, and jute to showcase simplicity and economy of form. rich natural tones and honest geometries recall the landscape of Marfa and the artistic movement it birthed. Meticulously handmade by master French artisans, the collection is NUMBERED EDITION
