About LUX
French Creative Studio
Since 2016, Simon creates light sculptures and Lucile produces and manages the art pieces with the creative studio LUX. In 2022, they have been awarded Le FRENCH DESIGN 100, the only design prize in France that honors the international actions of its designers and artists. In contrast to a world saturated with fast, colorful, and loud solicitations to spectators, they choose to present simple, static, black and white art pieces.
