Anne Corbière is a visionary textile artist and designer who elevates her craft to new heights with every project. Her signature, refined style seamlessly blends a profound appreciation for tradition with contemporary design. Corbière’s diverse background echoes through her work, drawing inspiration from her experiences in theater with Peter Brook and haute couture with Christian Lacroix. With an exceptional eye for detail and mastery of color and texture, Anne finds inspiration in classical masters such as Bronzino and Bonnard, as well as abstract expressionists like Hartung and Joan Mitchell.
Anne Corbière’s creations transcend the boundaries of art, design, and craftsmanship. Drawing from literature and travel, she skillfully weaves these stories and traditions—both literally and figuratively—into her work. Her dynamic collaborations with her husband, sculptor and furniture maker Vincent Corbière, have garnered international acclaim, from exhibitions in London and New York to galleries in Paris. Balancing her vibrant professional life, Anne finds solace in the tranquil French countryside she calls home. Here, she merges her passion for weaving with a lifestyle centered on beauty, connection, and joy. Her creations reflect these values, proving that traditional craftsmanship can remain timeless while inspiring modernity. During Paris Déco Off 2024, Anne Corbière partnered with two renowned design houses, Ochre Gallery and Alexander Lamont. For Ochre Gallery, she designed the exclusive Cloud Shade lamp, a masterpiece that harmoniously merges richness and delicacy with simplicity and refinement. Her innovative use of long-fiber linen, Italian silk, and white gold creates a subtle texture that imbues the lamp with vibrancy, showcased in a unique interplay of movement and light. Every detail of this design was meticulously developed in her Haut-Anjou atelier, where she collaborates with talented weavers. The lamp epitomizes timeless elegance, further accentuated by the delicate shimmer of white gold that adds a touch of luxury.

In collaboration with Alexander Lamont, Corbière unveiled a special edition of the Paglia collection, a series of sculptural lamps celebrating craftsmanship and natural materials. For this project, she designed the exclusive "Kita" lampshade, crafted from rattan, linen, and metallic threads. The shade complements and softens the monumental presence of the Paglia lamp base. These lamps showcase Corbière’s skill in transforming natural materials innovatively. The textured, dark surfaces capture light in an intriguing way, and each piece is handcrafted, exemplifying Corbière’s commitment to artisanal perfection.
