Julie Richoz
FranceJulie Richoz is a Swiss-French designer. After graduating from ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne (2012), she worked for Pierre Charpin as a project assistant (2013–2015). Since then, she set up her design studio in Paris, where she works with curiosity and sensibility to develop her own language through objects. From unique pieces to industrial scale, she sees a form of continuity rather than difference between the two modes of production. In both cases, she is fascinated by the savoir-faire, the passion, and the precision in handling the materials.
Her practice ranges from object, furniture, and lighting to textile, for companies such as Alessi, Vitra, Tectona, HAY, La Manufacture de Cogolin, Galerie Kreo, among others. She was a designer-in-residence at CIRVA/Research Center on Art and Glass in Marseille (2013), at Sèvres/Cité de la Céramique (2013), and at Casa Wabi, Mexico (2017). She was awarded the Grand Prix at Design Parade (2012), Swiss Design Awards (2015 / 2019), Bourse Leenaards (2016), and was a finalist of Hublot Design Prize (2016). Since 2017, she teaches industrial design at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne.
