Lemieux et Cie was founded in 2020 by designer and entrepreneur Christiane Lemieux as a return to meaning in design. Building on her experience creating brands like DwellStudio and The Inside, Lemieux established the company to embody her values of provenance, craftsmanship, and the beauty of thoughtful interiors. The brand is shaped by her global travels and study of art history.
The brand's aesthetic is described as "Artisanal Modernism," drawing inspiration from 20th-century European artists' studios and design classics. Each piece is created by artisans, not algorithms, and is intended to be collected and passed down. The collections feature sculptural, functional forms with an emphasis on natural materials, raw finishes, and a neutral color palette.
With a flagship design studio and store located on Grand Street in SoHo, New York, Lemieux et Cie combines retail with an experiential design space. The company collaborates with artisans around the world, from rug weavers in Jaipur to furniture makers in North Carolina. An exclusive collection also debuted at Anthropologie in 2021, expanding the brand's presence.
