Alexanne Plante
Atelier.alz
Designer
“With a background in both industrial design and interior design, I strive to create thoughtful objects that deliver unique user experiences while leaving a graphic imprint on built spaces. Passionate about graphic design and art, I am constantly seeking new textures and shapes, combining functionalities to maximize the potential of objects that inhabit our spaces.”
Design Approach and Inspiration
Atelier Alz is a multidisciplinary design studio based in Montreal. Inspired by materials sourced from workshop leftovers, each object is uniquely designed and crafted. A hybrid between object design and visual art, every creation conveys a narrative through its materiality and form. This process is rooted in a quiet design trend, aiming to create one-of-a-kind pieces that are not mass-produced but coexist in built spaces as true works of art.

My dream
AP: I want to learn from designers around the world, deepen my understanding of who I am as a creator, and explore diverse forms of knowledge and skills. My goal is to build a practice rooted in thoughtful, human-centered design.
With a background in photography, graphic design, retail, and interior design, I bring a strong visual sensibility and a sensitivity to the emotional impact of objects. A key moment in my journey was collaborating with Polyfloss Factory and Emile Devisscher, where I truly grasped the power of process and material. My dream is to infuse industrial design with joy and a feminine perspective—creating efficient, sustainable pieces that bring warmth, playfulness, and kindness into everyday life.
