Laureline Galliot is rethinking the methods uses in industrial design and serial production exploring the horizons opened up by digital techniques such as touch screen tablet, 3D animation and printing. Influenced by her own digital paintings, Galliot experiments with modelling and virtual coloration, she explores new formal possibilities for objects using iPad as a touch screen interface to re-connect design process with hand gesture.

Her work has been shown at various art centers and public institutions such as the Swiss Institute of New York, the Mudam in Luxembourg, the SEEDS Gallery in London, the Madd in Bordeaux, the Centre Pompidou and the MAD in Paris. Since 2015, she edits designs with Italian rug manufacturer Nodus and collaborates with Italian, Japanese and Austrian manufacturers (within the frame of her residency at Villa Kujoyama mentored by the French Institute and the Fondation Bettencourt Schueller, Kyoto, 2017).
