In the realm of visual marketing for the luxury fashion industry, studying the sales space and thinking of all the strategies that will contribute to the presentation of a product (and therefore to its success) is an irreplaceable experience for a designer. That’s certainly been the case for Parisian architect Laure Ardouin-Marie, who has worked for prestigious brands including Louis Vuitton, Emilio Pucci, Fendi, Rochas and Gucci. “Although we usually deal with ephemeral things, it’s important to implement projects quickly, sometimes working with tight budgets to find solutions with a dramatic look,” she says. “It’s a good place to experiment with materials and to study lighting.”
Laure, who specialises in interior design, studied at the prestigious Central Saint Martins in London and École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris before launching her career in 2001. After a decade and a half in the visual merchandising industry, she ultimately decided to open her own design studio, Stiletta, in 2016, which primarily focuses on private clients. Her first project was actually for her own abode, when she transformed an early-20th-century Parisian apartment into the contemporary home she shares with her family, including husband Thomas and daughters Jeanne and Louise.
The layout of the apartment has been radically changed compared to the original, which included a corridor with rooms placed on both its sides. Knocking down some walls and exchanging the locations of the day and night zones created a large living room, which looks out to a small outdoor garden, as well as a study and the dining area. The kitchen, placed beyond an iron and glass frame window, is included in the living room without compromising the innate elegance.
在頂級時尚品牌的視覺營銷領域下，分析各種策略的銷售空間和路向也會影響產品的表述。作出獨到分析絕對是一件產品成功的致勝之道，而這正是設計師不可或缺的技能。來自巴黎的建築師Laure Ardouin-Marie曾與無數知名品牌合作，包括Louis Vuitton、Emilio Pucci、Fendi、Rochas和Gucci等，正正兼備如此出眾的才華。「我們主要負責短期項目，推行速度非常重要。有時候我們僅能以有限資金打造極具戲劇性的效果。」她說：「這是一個配搭各種物料和研究光線的好方法。」
室內設計師Laure曾就讀著名的倫敦中央聖馬丁藝術與設計學院，以及ENSAD巴黎國立高等裝飾藝術學院，並於2001年畢業後開始工作。2016年正好是Laure投身視覺營銷行業的第十五個年頭，她決定開設設計工作室Stiletta，主要服務私人客戶。首個項目就是處理自己的居所裝潢，把二十世紀初的巴黎公寓打造成為與丈夫Thomas和女兒Jeanne及Louise的現代家居。
