Solveig de Fontgalland

After spending 20 years in Shanghai and Singapore, we made the choice to relocate to France and reconnect with our country of origin.

Entrepreneurial background with over 12 years in the sourcing industry and product development field (Home Décor, Packaging, Home Fragrance, Cosmetics, Tableware).
In Singapore, I am the director of a home fragrance and lifestyle brand, My French Concession (@myfrenchconcession), a brand driven by my desire to bring Feel good emotions by creating blissful moments with simple rituals enhancing our everyday life.
“My French Concession” relates to the former French Concession in Shanghai where a new surprise is waiting for you at every corner. Within a large metropolis at the forefront of modernity that constantly reinvents itself, this district has a unique soul with its quiet serpentine streets, hidden corners, art deco buildings, French mansions, cafés, markets and small shops selling unique pieces loaded with histories…
Developing this brand has been a fruitful and rich experience. I have developed a strong passion for the world of fragrances as they can shape different atmospheres adjusting to ones needs or moods.
With an increased focus on wellbeing and connection, the need to transform our homes into a more nourishing place right now is crucial.
In Greece, my mother and I have renovated some ruins located on the island of Amorgos (IG @anne_amorgos)
In Brittany, I’m about to start a new project as we just bought a house on Brehat island, my plan is to plan the design of the house and its garden through a sensory angle and coordinate a pool of experts of my choice to collaborate on this project.
My ambition is to help people and brands to redefine their universe with positivity, simplicity and hope by creating a holistic environments and using a sensory design approach.
