Julien Renault

The French designer Julien Renault grew up near Paris before studying industrial design at the ESAD Design & Art School in Reims, France, and at ECAL in Switzerland. These two different educations have shaped his approach to his work - a combination of objective and rational methods with artistic and personal freedom. Currently based in his studio in Brussels, Julien's ability to find inspiration everywhere means he is not afraid to beautify the ordinary. Convinced that all objects have a subconscious effect on our daily lives, Julien expresses the interconnectedness between objects and their surroundings in his designs, which he creates for several international brands. For HAY, Julien has created the Pastis collection.
