Making
and sharing
For over twenty years now, Comptoir has been dedicated to the spirit of sharing its inspirations,
legacy, knowledge and now invites you to discover a fantastic young creator and her unique skills.
Julie Lansom
After looking for a ceiling light and not finding anything to her liking, Julie decides to make the ideal lamp
herself. What happens next? Some friends commission the self-taught virtuoso and things take off
from there. "Success 2.0", explains Julie, still skeptical after quitting her job as a journalist
to devote herself to her art of crafts.
I don't just work for my clients,
I also work with them.
It is a genuine dialogue.

"Tropical" mean to you?
Heat, vegetation
and tranquility.










What would you like to convey through your art?
Each of my creations is a part of me. I have imagined it, designed it, experienced it and immortalized it. So, my sensitivity is what I hope to convey through my pieces, it is an emotion I try to put across.

Who is your fashion icon? I don't have just one! It is a combination of all the different people I come across in the street, anywhere in the world. An old woman in Biarritz, a young man in London, it can be anyone.
The fashion faux pas you own up to? Mixing patterns.
Your dream vacation? Anywhere peaceful during the off-season.
Your mantra? "We should try to be happy, just to set an example.” Jacques Prévert
You know summer’s arrived when... Paris smells a bit less like a city and a bit more like flowers, and you can go out at night with bare legs and a little jacket over your shoulders.
The colours that say summer to you: light colours, white, pastel colours, and all bright colours. Anything’s possible in the summer.
You feel like bunking off, what do you do? I sit on the terrace with an ice tea and watch people go by, all day long.
