La créatrice
Lucie Leroux
Textile craft-designer
Founder of the studio Laboratoire Textile
Laboratoire Textile is a micro studio consisting of a single person.
I slowly design and handcraft objects in Montreal that are both geometric and poetic, one fold at a time.
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.
Background
Trained in design and architecture in France, I began my career in architectural lighting and 3D modeling. It was while working on large-scale projects such as the Shanghai World Expo that I became interested in light and patterns.
Lecturer at the Centre for Design and Textile Printing and the Centre for Contemporary Textiles in Montreal, I co-founded Collectif Textilean inspirational journal about contemporary textile design.
After working on costumes for Cirque du Soleil, I collaborated on several projects ranging from fashion to documentary, presented throughout Quebec in venues such as the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Civilization in Quebec City.
In 2012, I launched Laboratoire Textile, a playground where I explore textile design through various research and creative projects.
Combining craftsmanship and new technologies, I place materials at the center of my tactile explorations and light at the center of my visual experiments.
