CluelesS (Saloméja Jacquet and Clara Stengel)

“Being in your own world is perhaps the most accurate interpretation of the word ‘clueless’. Circumventing pejorative versions, which could designate someone as ignorant, ‘clueless’ should instead be understood as the position of the individual who defies reality. Because CluelesS—the duo of designers comprising Saloméja Jacquet and Clara Stengel —develops a repertoire of objects in everyday usage that are designed to resolve issues of reality by creating a world slightly out of kilter with our own.” (excerpt from the text by Katia Porro).

Saloméja Jacquet was born in 1994 in Paris. In 2017, she graduated from the HEAD (Geneva) in Fashion Design. She notably worked with designers such as Bless and Mariel Manuel before co-founding CluelesS.

Clara Stengel was born in 1989 in Paris. After her studies at the ENSBA (Paris), she obtained a professional diploma in woodwork in 2015. Before co-founding CluelesS, she exhibited her work in France and abroad.
