Mural by Camille Walala

Camille Walala (born 1975 as Camille Vic-Dupont), is a French multi-disciplinary designer based in London, United Kingdom,[1] best known for her life-size murals and installations[2] as well as her post-modernism inspired patterns.[3]

Life and career

Camille Walala was born in Provence, France,[4] moved to the United Kingdom at the age of 23, and later studied textile design at the University of Brighton.[5] In 2009, she established Studio Walala in East London.[1]

In 2017, Walala was invited by NOW Gallery in South London to create an interactive, life size installation, for which the studio created an immersive so-called 'temple of wonder'.[6]

In 2021, during a period of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Walala reimagined the Design Museum shop as a grocery store, selling essential products re-designed by emerging artists such as Kentaro Okawara, Joey Yu, Isadora Lima and Michaela Yearwood-Dan amongst many more.[7]
