Antoine and Manuel met in an art school in Paris in 1984. Manuel studied industrial design at les Arts décoratifs while Antoine started working as a fashion stylist, both in Paris.
They officially began working as a duo in 1993, combining their multiple skills to create images, typographies, logotypes, video animations, objects and installations.
Among others, they created logotypes and visual identities for Collection Lambert en Avignon (since 2000), Comédie de Clermont-Ferrand (since 2002), the house of Christian Lacroix (2002), Sèvres (2005). In 2009 the Musée des Arts décoratifs in Paris celebrated their multidisciplinary approach giving Antoine+Manuel ‘carte blanche’ to exhibit and transform seven rooms in their galleries, followed in 2010 by a bigger exhibition of their work at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum ‘Antoine+Manuel’s Graphic Village’.
Since 2013 they explore video animation, for the reopening of the salon d’honneur in the Grand Palais in Paris, for ‘Cartier, l’Art et l’histoire’ exhibition where they unveiled ‘Cartieroscope’, a monumental 24 minutes animated frescoe. In 2015 they are invited for the White Night in Melbourne, Australia, to transform the monumental space of the Victoria State Library with ‘Eat me’, a specific video installation based on Alice in Wonderland accompanied by musician Sui Zhen. More recently for the Adelaide Festival in March 2018, Animal, a 360° video installation accompanied by a musical composition by Sui Zhen, located in the imposant reading room of the University of Adelaide’s Ba rr Smith Library.
