Julie Lansom

Born in Montpellier in 1987. She lives and works in Paris.

Designer and photographer, she majored in journalism, earning her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Montpellier in 2009 and her Master’s degree from the French Press Institute in Paris in 2012. She is a self-taught designer. Lansom worked as a freelance photographer and journalist for publications such as Vice, Intro Magazine, and M, Le magazine du Monde. She specializes in portraiture, working exclusively with analog photography. She opened her eponymous design studio in Paris in 2014. Shapes and colors inspire her work, and her aesthetic combines vintage and contemporary styles. Her most noted project has been the Sputnik series (2014), a collection of lamps that feature patterns of colorful yarn drawn tautly around geometric frames. Her work has been exhibited and published internationally. In 2017 she founded the fashion brand Epi Swim.
