Studio Brière

Studio Brière is the London practice of Julia Brière, a designer and researcher working where science, technology and design meet. She studied design products at the Royal College of Art, holds a master’s in design engineering from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design and took a BA in culture and media at The New School in New York.

Her work moves between material systems, responsive environments and interactive experiences: Saltscapes, a sea-salt composite developed for its structure as much as its look; a bioplastic made from avocado seeds; bio-integrated design research; and digital products, including a fundraising concept for the British Red Cross. Pieces have been shown at London Design Festival, Material Matters and London Craft Week, and Saltscapes is held in the material archive of Heatherwick Studio.
