Heim+Viladrich

Heim+Viladrich is a design studio founded in 2022 by Lauriane Heim and Johan Viladrich, based in Montpellier, France. Their approach is deeply rooted in context analysis, relying on meticulous research in the use of local materials and in the mastery of employed techniques. Through their projects, the studio has developed a coherent visual language, with rigorous attention running from overall composition down to individual details.

The studio's signature is mono-material construction with structural transparency: visible joints, raw aluminum, galvanized steel. These choices reflect an "economy of gesture," harmonizing material and process to produce work that is understated and precisely made. The duo maintains a direct relationship with production, working to leave materials as untouched as possible and reusing them across projects.

The practice is interdisciplinary, spanning design objects, scenographies, interiors, and publications. Commercial commissions and self-initiated work sit alongside each other, each domain sharpening the studio's ability to identify what is specific to a given project.

Their first major public work, Aire A75 (2022), translated the highway rest stops of the A75 motorway in southern France into a modular, mono-material installation. Presented at COLLECTIBLE in Brussels, it led to the studio being invited to design the scenography for COLLECTIBLE 2023's Curated Section the following year. Their mirror Steam was shown at Private Choice in 2024.
