Matali Crasset was born on July 28, 1965, in Chalons-en-Champagne into a family of farmers. She spent her childhood in the small village of Normée.{{Cite web|url=https://www.francetvinfo.fr/replay-radio/tout-et-son-contraire/matali-crasset-cest-tellement-un-plaisir-de-reflechir_2124125.html|title=Matali Crasset : "C'est tellement un plaisir de réfléchir"|date=April 14, 2017|website=Franceinfo|language=fr|access-date=November 9, 2019}} In 1988, she decided to continue her studies in Paris at the ENSCI (Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle) and obtained her diploma as an industrial designer in 1991.{{Cite web|url=http://www.cles.com/enquetes/article/creatrice-d-objets-vivants|title=Matali Crasset Créatrice d'objets vivants Christine Halary|website=www.cles.com|access-date=December 20, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161221090900/http://www.cles.com/enquetes/article/creatrice-d-objets-vivants|archive-date=December 21, 2016|url-status=dead}}. She joined Denis Santachiara's studio in Milan in 1992 for a year, before joining Philippe Starck's studio in Paris in 1993, where she was appointed head of the Thomson Multimedia project, then Tim Thom, Thomson's design center. This collaboration lasted four years during which Matali Crasset developed under the direction of Philippe Starck "everyday objects at the service of people".{{Cite web|url=http://archives.lesechos.fr/archives/2008/SerieLimitee/00064-045-SLI.htm|title=MATALI CRASSET|last=Echos|first=Les|date=June 13, 2008|website=Les Échos|location=France|language=fr|access-date=November 9, 2019}} Matali Crasset has defined Philippe Starck as a complex personality in whom she admires the ability to free himself from constraints. Nevertheless, 1998 saw her creating her own company with her husband Francis Fichot, to "protect herself from Starck".{{Cite web|url=https://www.liberation.fr/portrait/2000/01/15/et-vous-trouvez-sabot_314380|title=Et vous trouvez sabot?|date=January 15, 2000|website=Libération.fr|language=fr|access-date=November 9, 2019}}
