Vidéo Simon BARRAU production - Cré'ACC 2024

Lucile DROUET’s Loxiale workshop creates supple, unique materials using ancestral techniques for contemporary needs.
Her commitment to ecological transition is rooted in the sustainable transformation of materials with a positive impact.
Unusual materials such as cork (a favorite for the past 6 years), apple leather and bran are used to create refined, made-to-measure fabrics.
These fabrics inscribe their own language to create a global sensory experience of textile vibration.

“I like it when the materials I produce resonate with the creativity of a project”.
A background in art, architecture, textiles and design anchors Lucile DROUET’s textile vision in a resolutely cross-disciplinary expression, where the quest for meaning and the right gesture requires coherence between aesthetics and structure.
Lucile Drouet is an artist, sound weaver and textile designer.
Inspired by nature, and the connection with the environment, she works as a researcher and explorer to give presence to vibration, rhythm and movement in textiles. She uses natural materials and dyes.
