Teddy Sanches

Born in 1992. Lives and works in Paris (France).

Designer and dancer Teddy Sanches studied at the prestigious ENSCI - Les Ateliers Paris school, from which he graduated with honours in industrial creation in 2019 with 'his Envahisseurs Battle project', an original event combining design and dance at the Centre Pompidou.

The same year, with this project, he won the Audi talents prize for the development of a film directed by his twin sister Deicy Sanches and a happening based on a circular protocol. Hip-hop gravitates towards his daily life, becoming in turn a fertile playground for the needs of tomorrow's world. An exhibition accompanied by a weekend of performances has been devoted to him at the Palais de Tokyo in summer 2021.

With Deicy, motivated to develop this project which became the ‘Envahisseurs’ collective, he won the Villa Kujoyama residency in Kyoto in 2021. The collective was able to perform for Nuit Blanche Kyoto and the Lambert collection in 2022. They were recently invited by Paul Briottet to invade the Bozar museum in Brussels with a talk led by Olivier Marboeuf and Alessandra Seutin, a performance by 8 dancers, film screenings and DJ sets, including one by the artist Kem Kem.

Teddy Sanches is also co-founder of the HALL.HAUS design studio with Abdoulaye Niang, Sammy Bernoussi and Zakari Boukhari. Right from the start, they were winners of the ‘À l'Oeuvre’ residency at the Lafayette Anticipations Fondation, during which they created and exhibited the ‘Curry Mango’ armchair, an object that expresses their identity. It was with this creation that they were finalists in the ‘Design Parade’ 16 festival at the Villa Noailles in 2022.

Their collaborators include brands such as Nike and Ikea, and they were recently winners of the French Design 100. Their sofa space ‘Haus Dari’, which they created during the first design residency created by the French agency Afalula and the Royal Commission Of AlUla in 2024, is currently on display at Lafayette Anticipations in the Agora.
