Born in Marseille, Malo spent many years working for large organizations as a sales representative for technical products in demanding, structured, and sometimes complex environments—but these never fully satisfied her deep curiosity.

More of a jack-of-all-trades than someone with a single passion, Malo has always cultivated an interest in various forms of expression: photography, painting, and fashion—with a particular fondness for Paul Poiret’s boldness and Yves Saint Laurent’s elegance. She is drawn to strong personalities, distinctive worlds, and unique life paths. Sports and travel have shaped her character and her perspective.

They lead her off the beaten path and nurture her appreciation for authenticity and the rough edges of things and people.

It is in the heart of Réunion Island that she embarks on a wild project: creating a hotel that reflects who she is—the MOMA—with a deep joy in imagining and offering a place where people feel comfortable, welcome, and at home.

Back in Marseille, she rediscovered what she had always been drawn to: diversity, warmth, a sense of community, and lived-in spaces. And it was at ARCHIK that she realized something that felt obvious: creating spaces that respect each person’s uniqueness—places with character where people can truly thrive.
