Emmanuelle Moureaux

Top French artist, architect and designer Emmanuelle Moureaux is ‘The Architect of Colors”. Inspired by the layers and colors of Tokyo that built a complex depth and density on the street, and the Japanese traditional spatial elements like sliding screens, she has created the concept of Shikiri, which literally means “dividing (creating) space with colors”. She uses colors as three-dimensional elements, like layers, in order to create spaces, not as a finishing touch applied on surfaces. Handling colors as a medium to compose space, her wish is to give emotion through colors with her creations, which range from art, design to architecture.

Her work extend to a number of projects, including architectural design for Sugamo Shinkin Bank, art installations and brand collabs and elevate brand experience (collaboration with brands Uniqlo, Issey Miyake, Lancôme).
