The Program

Learning objectives

The objective is to provide learners with the tools they need to design and create their own architectural object. This involves key steps such as drawing, making cardboard models, and exploring textures on the earth during the course, while stimulating their curiosity, boldness, and taste for experimentation.

At the end of the training, the trainee will be able to:

  • Build a study model of a small cardboard stool
  • Prepare the earth, make earth slabs and cut them
  • Recognize the right consistency of the earth and assemble the slabs
  • Manage the drying of a piece to avoid cracks and deformations
  • Know the different techniques for creating textures on the earth and create your own vocabulary

Details

Laetitia Perrin, DPLG architect, has devoted more than twenty years of her career to the architecture department of Louis Vuitton. She has designed and built around sixty stores around the world, working on various elements such as volumes, lighting, materials, wall coverings, furniture, as well as FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment). From the initial design to the final implementation, these projects have given her the opportunity to collaborate with creators, artisans and various cultures, thus enriching her creative and technical approach.

Subsequently, she took charge of the development of concepts and furniture, as well as the research and development of materials and the sourcing of artisans.

Since 2006, Laetitia Perrin has trained in ceramics with Patricia Vieljeux in her Parisian workshop, while deepening her mastery through training in the creation of high-temperature enamels and by obtaining a CAP in ceramic turning. This journey, fueled by research, experimentation and constant audacity, has allowed us to explore shapes, materials and textures in depth.

Created in 2024 in Paris and Pantin, Laetitia Perrin Studio is both a creative agency and a craft manufacturing workshop. Specializing in collectible furniture, lighting and ceramic objects, the studio transforms raw materials into exceptional materials to give life to free and functional forms, often imbued with an architectural dimension.

The studio's creations, all unique, include a variety of pieces: murals, furniture, lighting, bas-reliefs, tableware and exceptional objects. These works, both diverse and rich in materiality, weave a unique link between craftsmanship, art and architecture.

The studio also offers a catalog of ceramic textures, designed to meet the needs of its clients in the context of projects
