Occupation
designer

Gaëlle Lauriot Prévost, designer and artistic director of the DPA agency, started working alongside Elisabeth de Senneville, for whom she drew and designed jewellery and accessories. Graduate of the Camondo school, she collaborates with Patrick Rubin (Atelier canal), and Zaha Hadid in London before joining Dominique Perrault in 1989 for the wonderful adventure of the Bibliothèque nationale de France. This designer likes to confront architecture and its technical components. She purifies it, adjusts it and dresses it in a very meticulous way.
Very rigorous and poetic, she sculpts or transforms the material by adapting and transposing it.
Her creations emerge in space, sometimes on surprising scales, always inseparable from the places where it sets up, as the counterpoint necessary to architecture.
