About
Mathilde Le Coutour is a multidisciplinary designer and creative lead working at the intersection of spatial design and graphics for cultural institutions and private clients.
After studying at the École Boulle and earning a Master's degree in Design, Product, and Scenography at the École Normale Supérieure, Paris-Cachan, Mathilde joined the interior and exhibition design studio Agence NC in Paris, in which she designed exhibitions for national and international museums: Musée d'Orsay, Petit Palais, Centre Pompidou Metz, Denver Art Museum, amongst others.
While moving to London she pursued her career at Christie’s auction house, where she designed temporary exhibitions and environmental graphics for landmark sales such as the Audrey Hepburn collection and David Gilmour.
As an independent designer, she created window displays for the heritage brand Moynat and designed the pre-sale exhibition 'The Crown' at Bonhams auction house.
Throughout her projects, she aims to create designs that tell a story and spark emotion.

Ethos
At the core of my design process are people and the environment.
My designs aim at :
- improving the quality of spaces in functional and aesthetics terms,
- presenting art and artefacts in a meaningful way,
- bringing stories to life, initiating a sense of awe
My design process involves :
- limiting the quantity of materials used in order to reduce waste,
- prioritising natural and fully recyclable materials,
- planning the after life of a temporary design, for reuse, donating or recycling
