Textile craft-designer
Founder of the studio Laboratoire Textile

Inspired by Nordic sobriety, since 2012 Lucie Leroux has been patiently designing and handcrafting objects in Montreal that are both geometric and poetic, one fold at a time.

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.
