Bio

After my studies of industrial design in the National School of Art - La Cambre - Brussels, I built up substantial experience, in Belgium and abroad. I got the opportunity to discover how design works in practice, firstly through agencies, and also by working as an in-house designer at manufacturers.
I joined the family communication agency Médiane at the start of 2010. Besides the graphic projects, I launched the industrial design business.
Start 2017, I get out of Médiane to devote myself entirely to product design. I joined La Lustrerie,in a co-working space shared with two other industrial designers, Judicaël Cornu and Thomas Vancraeynest.

A light and sculptural habitat

Based in the heart of the Ardennes, the companies Scidus and Mobic have developed a range of integrated activities: forest management, sawmills, timber frame houses, roasted wood… One of their latest innovations, Robotmob 2, brings a sculptural approach to woodwork. This is the technique that Louise Charlier and Judicaël Cornu have explored with a cabin in organic shapes. Designed to offer a solid and sustainable housing solution for summer festivals and other such events, the object is built around two monohulls cut out at once. “We have sought to develop a new typology experimenting with a technique on the scale of habitat that brings a completely new formal freedom to woodwork”, Judicaël Cornu explains. Inspired by the sculptures of Richard Serra, among others, the cabin has been designed to cause a minimal impact on the terrain where it is placed.
