Background
Trained in design and architecture in France, Lucie Leroux began her career in architectural lighting before moving to Montreal, where she discovered textile printing.
C’est en travaillant sur des projets d’envergure comme l’Exposition Universelle de Shanghai qu’elle a commencé à m’intéresser à la lumière et aux motifs.
Lecturer at the Atelier Textile and the Centre des Textile Contemporains de Montréal, she co-foundeda Collectif Textilean inspirational journal about contemporary textile design.
After working on costumes for Cirque du Soleil, she has collaborated on several projects from fashion to documentaries, presented throughout Quebec at venues such as the Musée des Beaux Arts de Montréal and the Musée de la Civilisation in Quebec City.After working on costumes for Cirque du Soleil, she has collaborated on several projects from fashion to documentaries, presented throughout Quebec at venues such as the Musée des Beaux Arts de Montréal and the Musée de la Civilisation in Quebec City.
She launched Laboratoire Textile in 2012, a playground where she explores textile design through various research and creative projects.
Combining craftsmanship and new technologies, she places materials at the center of her tactile explorations and light at the center of my visual experiments.
