She launched Laboratoire Textile in 2012, a playground where she explores textile design through various research and creative projects.

In addition to offering her fixtures to private customers, she has collaborated with design professionals such as Atelier Zebulon Perron and C2 Mtl.

Blending both craftsmanship and new technologies, she places materials at the heart of her tactile explorations, and light at the center of her visual experiments.

Mille et un plis

Graphic lighting

Inspired by Nordic sobriety, since 2018 Lucie Leroux has been patiently designing and handcrafting luminaires in Montreal that are both geometric and poetic, one fold at a time. Each lamp's name corresponds to the number of folds that make it up.

Designed for an environment with long winters, each design is carefully crafted to integrate harmoniously into a multitude of interior spaces, offering a warm, contemporary aesthetic.

From drawing, to pattern research, to the development of new folded forms, the creative process is complex and meticulous, at the crossroads of arts and crafts, visual arts and design.

Plain or with screen-printed patterns, Laboratoire Textile invites you to let your gaze wander among the mountains and valleys of the folds, to take time for this moment of contemplation.
