Laetitia is a French designer living in London. After studying at Central Saint Martins School, Laetitia's career began as a fashion designer and her work soon evolved into playing with different mediums such as print, textile, paint and ceramic.
Her playful creations and love of colour have landed her much attention already. She has collaborated with the likes of Rixo and Anthropologie, among others.
After years working in the fashion industry, Laetitia decided to focus on her own work: ‘I felt the need to tell my story, and also the story of the objects in front of our eyes. I’m interested in the past history of the things I create – their scars, colours and shapes – but at the same time I like to write new stories about them. I’d say I’m a French artist who is passionate about colours. And bums.’ 🍑
Laetitia’s works are definitely conversation starters. Bold statements are emblazoned across canvas and plates alike. And the human form is celebrated with all its imperfections

FAQ
How do I hang a new piece with works I already have?
We love mixing in new works with existing are in your collection. It can be a great way to do this as part of a gallery wall or a specific place on it’s own. Buying more contemporary work and hanging this alongside traditional work you may have inherited, is a great way of modernising a space and giving these more traditional pieces new life. Our advice would be to have a common thread that runs between the 2 pieces, that ties them together - this could be similar tones or colours, or a similar theme or subject in both the works.
Does art make a good wedding present?
We have lots of pieces that would make brilliant wedding presents. Buying art as a gift is such a meaningful present and will forever be a talking piece for that couple, and tell a story of the people that bought them that piece and remind them of their wedding. Prints are always an easy and affordable wedding gift. Or if you want to club together with some friends and buy an original framed piece, you will definitely win the prize for most unique gift!
How do I choose a frame?
This is a very favourite topic of ours - we LOVE framing! How you frame depends on the space you’d like to hang the piece in. If you are hanging on a neutral wall, we love to go for a colourful frame. And using an interesting moulding, be it reeded or bobbin, is a great way of adding texture to a room. For works on paper I love a deckled paper edge - in this case I love to float or surface mount the paper, so you can see this deckled edge and then a simple wood frame. If you are trying to make a space more contemporary, framing can be a great way to add to this, like a tray frame on a large canvas piece. I also love framing traditional art works in modern frames and vice versa; a modern little print in a really traditional old antique gilt frame.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes we absolutely do - this is the perfect gift solution for that person who either has everything, or you just can’t choose which artwork to buy for them. A lovely gift for someone to choose exactly what they would like from our large collection of art work.
