MEET THE FOUNDER

With a career dedicated to creating beauty and designing immersive experiences, Anaïs Fillau turned her artistic vision toward stone furniture. After over a decade in Asia, she founded MANIFESTE in France in 2023 to bring a sculptural, contemporary twist to natural stone. With the ability to source some of the rarest stones in the world, she offers curated collections while also collaborating closely with architectural firms to bring their vision to life. Her passion lies in working with noble materials and blending them to create true works of art.

Inspired by the hidden beauty of materials like marble and onyx, MANIFESTE was born to celebrate these ancient treasures. With their intricate veining and endless creative potential, these stones offer a perfect foundation for distinctive and refined creations. To ensure exceptional quality, Anaïs meticulously sources and handpicks each slab from quarries worldwide.

Her vision is to elevate natural stone into functional and timeless pieces that seamlessly integrate into any space. Every design begins with a single raw material, carefully shaped to harmonize form, texture, and color, resulting in striking and enduring objects.

MANIFESTE was born from a deep admiration for the beauty hidden beneath the earth’s surface—stones like marble and onyx, with their distinctive veins and rich textures. These ancient materials offer limitless creative potential, and Anaïs personally travels the world to carefully select the finest slabs, ensuring each piece meets the highest standards.

Her goal is to transform raw stone into elegant, functional objects that stand the test of time. Each creation begins as a single block, shaped with precision to highlight the interplay of form, texture, and color, resulting in designs that bring character and sophistication to any space.
