"Let your gaze wander among mountains and valleys of folds."
Lucie Leroux is a craft designer and founder of Laboratoire Textile studio.
Trained in design and architecture in France, and in textile design in Canada, she began her career in architectural lighting and 3D modeling. It was while working on large-scale projects such as the Shanghai World Expo that she became interested in light and patterns.
She launched Laboratoire Textile in 2012, a playground where she explores textile design through various research and creative projects.
Inspired by Nordic sobriety, since 2018 Lucie Leroux has been patiently designing and handcrafting lamps in Montreal.
Laboratoire Textile's approach is deliberately low-tech and focused on the slowness of the creative process, the object itself being an invitation to contemplation.
