Cloé Vriet
PAPER ARTIST | SCENOGRAPHY | EDITION
Based in Paris, Cloé Vriet is a French visual artist and paper-sculptor who treats paper not merely as a material, but as a medium of memory, gesture and silence. After graduating in object and industrial design (BTS at La Souterraine, DSAA at ENSAAMA Paris), and accumulating a decade of experience in luxury scenography, she turned to an intimate practice where delicate incisions and assemblies create organic volumes out of simple sheets of paper.
Her work uses folding, cutting, shaping and layering to transform fragile matter into expressive structures. Light filters through the paper surfaces; shadows sculpt forms and textures become visible landscapes. Her pieces are at once material and poetic—they reveal the interplay of tension and flow, of surface and depth.
Often commissioned by prestigious brands, Cloé’s creations reinterpret luxury, beauty and craft through the lens of paper art—where minimal means, refined technique, and tactile presence converge.
Collaborations include Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Eres, Guerlain, Issey Miyake, Armani, Moët Hennessy, Mumm, Roederer, Castelbajac, Kenzo, La Mer, Louis Vuitton, La Prairie, Lancôme, Longines, Saint-Louis, Adidas, Guerlain, Perrier-Jouët…

CLOÉ VRIET | NYC EXHIBITION
Contacted two months before the group exhibition “Summer Snake”, Cloé Vriet created two artworks titled “ÉCORCHÉ.ES” (green), both sold on the evening of the opening to a private collector. Words from Cloé : "I explore through paper, ink and volume a form of organic abstraction shaped by incisions I call “écorchures.” These delicate wounds let the light in, sculpting the surface and revealing a movement inspired by the body and its silences. Each piece is born from a fragile balance between the impulse of the gesture and the patience of time. Through this work, I question vulnerability, resilience and metamorphosis."

LOUIS VUITTON 200 ANS EVENT | CLOÉ VRIET
Ephemeral scenography designed for the pop-up bookstore at Louis Vuitton’s Saint-Germain flagship, created to celebrate the release of L’Audacieux — a book marking the 200th anniversary of the founder’s birth. In collaboration with Atelier LUM, Cloé Vriet designed and produced an immersive installation transforming the store into a monumental, poetic, and minimalist library. The space, entirely composed of white books with embossed edges, evokes the quiet elegance of paper and the precision of handcrafted work. Bright orange niches contrast with the monochrome walls, drawing the eye to the iconic book written by Caroline Bongrand. An enveloping audio experience invites visitors to listen to excerpts from the book inside a cocoon-like capsule, blending intimacy with refined luxury. A tribute to craftsmanship, literature, and the bold creative spirit of the Maison Louis Vuitton.
