Laur Meyrieux
Laur Meyrieux was born into a world where art and architecture naturally interact: a painter grandmother, an architect father.
A graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts de Saint-Étienne and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (ENSAD) in Paris, she has been asserting her talent, creative audacity and diverse skills as a designer, interior architect, scenographer and artistic director from the very start of her career.
Her creations testify to her eclectic know-how. She has designed lighting fixtures for Habitat; immersive scenography for Shu Uemura; and furniture for VIP lounges in major railway stations for the SNCF. In addition to these projects, her collaborations with emblematic figures of world design, such as Jean Nouvel, Christophe Pillet and Ron Arad, have honed her artistic eye and strengthened her ability to take on large-scale projects.
In 2000, Laur moved to Tokyo, seduced by the subtlety and aesthetic demands of Japan. This immersion strengthened her artistic approach, giving rise to creations imbued with minimalism and elegance. She founded the Postnormal collective and then her own design studio, Laur Meyrieux studio. Her expertise has earned her commissions from luxury brands such as Hermèsfor artistic direction of window displays and event scenography, and the boutiques Restirboutiques, for which she creates a strong visual identity and striking interior architecture, contributing to their international renown. In 2012, building on a decade of experience in Japan, she opened her design studio in Hong Kong, where she continues to expand her influence on the international scene.
Returning to France in 2016, Laur Meyrieux affirms her commitment to design that combines art, craftsmanship and ecology. She creates a collection of furniture for the home Grangeand rugs for Toulemonde Bochartand develops her line of limited-edition objects and furniture. In 2021, she founded her own brand and unveiled a collection of high-end wallpapers, based on original hand-painted creations. Her approach combines aesthetic demands, sensitivity to materials and a sustainable vision, in a quest for harmony where art and design meet.
Laur's international career is rich in emblematic projects, and has been crowned with distinctions including several Ministry of Culture awards in France and Japan, as well as the prestigious FRAME award for her exhibition Poetic Landscape.
Laur boldly explores colors, materials and innovative technologies, creating works that redefine the boundaries between art and design.
