Alek Keller is a French writer and designer living and working in the United States.

His practice spans writing, furniture, and spatial design — each approached as forms of making that shape how we inhabit daily life. Design work includes interiors, landscapes, public installations, and objects, with forms that favor reduction, proportion, and material honesty over decoration.

He writes essays and poetry exploring identity, philosophy, material culture, and contemporary life. His writing does not explain the design work — it runs parallel to it, asking similar questions through different means. Both practices are grounded in attention to ritual, restraint, and the quiet accumulation of meaning through use.

Previously, Keller worked as a florist for seven years, a practice that continues to inform his understanding of composition, seasonality, and the relationship between form and ephemerality.
