Marc Held is both a designer and an architect. His work
has ranged from the design of a tea spoon to industrial buildings,
encompassing Limoges dinner china, ski outfits, automobiles and houses.
Although his studio was long based in Paris, his design
creations were displayed and sold the world over. A number of his works
are exhibited in museums of Contemporary art and certain ones, now rare
and hard to find, feature in important public auctions.
Today, Marc Held principally devotes his attention to
the relationship between vernacular and modern architecture. Joining
practice with theory, he carefully selects commissions which allow him to
design and construct houses complete with their landscaping and
furnishings – in the spirit of great architects of the last century such
as Mies Van des Rohe, Le Corbusier, Alvar Alto and Arne Jacobsen.
Marc Held now resides principally in Greece, which for
more than a decade has been his second country.
