Victoria Wilmotte (born 1985 in Paris) studied interior design in Paris and later earned a master's degree in product design at the Royal College of Art in London.  After graduating, she returned to Paris in 2008 and opened her first design studio, where she created designs for the Tools Gallery in Paris and works for her first solo show in 2009 in the Brussels Gallery Pierre Bergé et Associés.  Wilmotte's special design process can be compared to that of a sculptor - she masterfully manipulates volumes and negative space, removes the material until she finds a perfect angle or ideal curve, and polishes the surfaces to the point when they precisely achieve the structure and light refraction that she seeks.
