Emmanuelle Moureaux's arhitecture and design

Emmanuelle Moureaux, architect, born in France in 1971. In the year 1996. she moved to Tokyo, where she still lives and works. Her practice spans interior, furniture and product design, as well as architecture for a variety of clients in retail and educational spaces, including Issey Miyake and Sugomo Shinkin Bank. The inspiration she finds in her adopted country of Japan is very evident.
Emmanuelle has been developing “Shikiri” (Japanese traditional sliding screens), a new concept which literally means “dividing space with colors” in English. She creates spaces using colors, not as a finishing element of decoration of the space, but as three-dimensional layers, which create the space. By sophisticated use of colors, she designs new concepts, her work is a proof that beauty often lies in simplicity.
