Julien Renault

Julien Renault is a French designer with a talent for finding beauty in the everyday. Raised in Paris, he studied industrial design at ESAD in Reims before continuing his education at ECAL in Switzerland. The contrast between these two schools helped shape his design philosophy, balancing a rational, functional approach with a sense of artistic freedom.

Now working from his studio in Brussels, Renault draws inspiration from the world around him, convinced that even the most ordinary objects can influence how we feel and interact with our surroundings. His designs explore the subtle connections between objects and the spaces they inhabit, resulting in work that feels both thoughtful and accessible.

Renault collaborates with a number of leading international brands, including HAY, for whom he has created the Pastis Collection and Compass Collection, as well as pieces for the Danish brand Nine.
