Miriam Derville worked 10 years as an art director for Givenchy, Guerlain, Hugo Boss, before creating Mimi’lou, studio for object and textil design & illustration in 2005. Starting turning her illustrations into wall decals, the rang expanded quickly to textile, stationery, lamps and accessories.

Her designs and products are inspired by the fanciful kids-world full of poetry where you can read a book with your hippo, whisper a secret to your deer or take your butterfly out for a walk…associating emotions with nice design.

In the meantime, the studio has been joined by a small team, designing and producing exclusive collections for well-known interior and fashion design labels as Habitat, Monoprix and Little Paul & Joe, going from stickers to stationary or from fabric patterns to window displays.
