Meet Clémence Hardelay

DIRECTOR OF DESIGN EUROPE

Clémence joined Creative Matters as a designer in 2013 and became Director of Design in 2020 and Director of Design Europe in 2021.  Based in Europe, she manages Creative Matters’ European branch, and travels to European capitals for meetings with clients. She also manages our marine division that specializes in carpets for cruise ships. 

Experienced at working across all sectors - residential, hospitality, commercial and high end retail - Clémence’s outstanding sense of colour and attention to detail have permitted her to establish loyalty and long-lasting relationships with clients. She is also in charge of developing the handknotted collections of the firm.  

Born in France and raised in Italy, Clémence speaks four languages, so she enjoys working with interior designers who do not speak English and represents Creative Matters in French-language media interviews.

Clémence has a degree in Fashion Design from ESAA Duperré and a MA in Textile Design from ANAT (ENSCI-Les Ateliers) in Paris.
