Interested in the combination of craftsmanship and industrial production, with a penchant for sustainable design solutions, I develop product and furniture collections, alongside a spectrum of other design projects. The marriage of material and function, coupled with a story-telling-approach, is at the heart of my creations.
I strive to develop products that have a low impact on the environment.
I reuse materials, produce locally and support people and businesses with the same values and goals.

BIO
Julie Conrad, born in Luxembourg in 1988, where she lives and works, graduated with highest distinction in Art Design from Créapôle Paris in 2012. Interested in the correlation between craftsmanship and industrial production, with a penchant for sustainable design solutions, she established her design studio in Luxembourg in August 2013. Her studio balances between client commissions and her own projects, focusing on the creation of objects and spaces.
She enjoys taking materials out of their initial context and playing with scales, exemplified by her iconic room divider, Unpaper. Her goal is to create moments of surprise.
Since the founding of her studio, she has won numerous awards. To name just one, in March 2022, on the occasion of International Women's Day, she received the Young Entrepreneur Award from the Soroptimists Luxembourg in recognition of her professional journey since the establishment of her studio.
Designed for and exhibited at the Luxembourg Pavilion at the World Expo in Dubai in 2022, the interactive installation of 3D-printed objects made from Luxembourgish clay, titled ARTEFACTS, was showcased at the Pomhouse in Dudelange from August 2023 to January 2024. Among her recent projects is the design of the trophy for the Luxembourg Design Awards in blown glass, as well as a commission of custom furniture pieces from her LOOM collection, crafted with reclaimed fabric, for the first UNIQLO store in Luxembourg. Furthermore, the LOOM chairs are part of the official selection for the Luxembourgish pavilion at World Expo Osaka 2025 and the development of the collection is now part of the incubation program WORTH Partnership Project, which will conclude with an exhibition at Salone del Mobile in Milan in April 2025.
Julie Conrad is actively involved within Design Luxembourg, the association of designers.
