Born in Brittany and based in Paris, Raphaël Pontais is a qualified multidisciplinary designer specialising in furniture and interior objects. 

In 2021, he collaborated with decorator and interior architect Oscar Lucien Ono, designing furniture for hotels and private residences in Europe and across the Atlantic. Combining his approach to design with that of the interior designer in the heart of Saint-Germain-Des-Prés, he remains faithful to his resolutely contemporary universe when working on personal projects.

First revealed with his Rooly seat during the 2023 edition of Paris Design Week at Espace Commines under the curation of Emily Marant, Raphaël Pontais has since showcased his work at Dutch Design Week, Maison & Objet, Milan Design Week, and most recently at the Villa Noailles festival. He is now represented by the gallery Anne Jacquemin Sablon.
