laura demichelis was born & brought up in provence, in the south of france. Trained at the école boulle in paris, she obtained her diploma in arts & crafts, specialising with work in bronze. Her diploma piece, the ‘dérive’, won her the top national prize in the competition which the riboud foundation sponsors at the national institute of arts & crafts (inma); & the piece has been frequently exhibited. After several years’ work with the designer van der straeten in his atelier in paris, she spent a year in asia, in particular studying ancient bronze-casting techniques in vietnam. Her creativity was hugely enriched by her familiarisation with precious traditional know-how. In 2014, she settled in berlin, where for 2 years she worked with the designer stefan leo & was introduced to different techniques & new materials, like leather, parchment, glass, thus adding to her design repertoire. In 2016, she set up on her own in the centre of toulouse: atelier demichelis, where she designs & makes contemporary lighting and other furnishings & fittings in bronze. All her creations are hand-made & signed, either one-off or in a short numbered series. Laura draws her inspiration from her travels, but also from nature & daily life — so long as there is a story to tell.
