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

His practice spans florals and furniture — each approached as forms of making that shape how we inhabit daily life. Design work includes objects, and floral installations, 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.

His approach is grounded in what he calls modern essentialism — the Sartrean idea that form is not predetermined but discovered through making. Every material, flower, and object is chosen with total intention, in relation to each other, to human history, and to the environment they inhabit. Nothing decorative. Everything weighted with meaning.

Based in Miami, formerly New York. His floral practice spans eight years and remains central to his work — an ongoing study in composition, seasonality, and the relationship between form and ephemerality.

Past clients and collaborations include Dior, Soho House, Bottega Veneta, Paul McCartney, and Padma Lakshmi.
