Born in France, Sam Baron is a graduate of the Saint Etienne School of Fine Arts and has a post-graduate degree from the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris.

He works as a designer for brands such as Louis Vuitton, La Redoute, Vista Alegre, Petite Friture and Hennessy and for ten years was the creative director of the design department of Fabrica, the international communication research centre based in Italy. His work is represented abroad by Galeries C. Grajales (USA), Nilufar (It), Mint (UK) and is part of the collections of several museums such as the Cooper Hewitt Museum, New York / Gardiner Museum, Toronto / Mudam, Art Modern Museum of Grand-Duc Jean, Luxembourg / Centre G. Pompidou / Grand Hornu art & design Museum (Belgium), Triennale Milano (It) / V&A (London) / Stiftung Stadtmuseum, Berlin / Kópavogur Art Museum, Iceland... In 2009 he was awarded the Grand Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris in the confirmed designer section and in 2010 he was named by Philipe Starck as one of the most important designers of the decade.
