Léo Perret | Balancing Functional Design and Contemporary Art

Léo Perret is a designer and artist who focuses on the intersection of functional design and contemporary art. Based between Paris and Valence, Léo Perret creates works that are characterized by a minimal, raw, and sensitive visual language. The artist’s philosophy centers on the equilibrium between form, material, and space, ensuring that each piece is not merely a sculpture but a component that interacts with its surroundings. Léo Perret describes these creations as simple curves that take place and play with the space they inhabit. The portfolio includes projects like WIP for Sophie Dries and various exposures in Valence. By avoiding traditional logos and focusing on lines that resonate with the viewer, Léo Perret emphasizes a pure aesthetic. The work challenges the distinction between the utility of an object and its status as a work of art. This approach results in a collection of pieces that are both physically grounded and conceptually light. Léo Perret's practice is a testament to the power of simplicity and the enduring impact of well-considered forms in modern design. The artist maintains a professional practice that involves collaborations and independent explorations of materiality.
