Laura Gonzalez Gallery Turns Landscapes Into Living Design

Mia Macfarlane

The Laura Gonzalez gallery is redefining how we experience landscapes. Not as scenic images, but as sculptural design. In her latest exhibition, Where the Landscape Bends, the Spirit Rises, on view at 102 Franklin Street in New York, Gonzalez transforms natural forms into immersive interior objects. As a result, design becomes geography, and the home becomes an emotional terrain.

This is not merely decoration. It is a meditation on material, memory, and place.

Laura Gonzalez: Sculpting the Natural World

At the core of the Laura Gonzalez gallery exhibition is the designer’s signature aesthetic, which fuses high craft with elemental form. Gonzalez doesn’t just draw inspiration from nature; she brings it to life. Each piece tells a tactile story, blurring the lines between object and landscape.

For example, Landscape Lamp 001 radiates with misty translucence, like a bloom caught in early morning light, casting a soft glow that feels both organic and ethereal. The Quilt Table layers resin and wood into a tactile patchwork, evoking the quiet geometry of aerial farmland stitched together by season and memory. Meanwhile, the Colline Sofa curves gently, its silhouette reminiscent of a hillside at dusk; calm, sculptural, and inviting. The Écorce Table introduces a contrasting tension, pairing bark-textured bronze legs with a glass top that resembles frozen water, capturing the stillness of winter in furniture form. Finally, the Pierre Lamp and Mon Rocher Lamp explore the elemental dialogue between stone and light. Each is sculpted with natural irregularities that recall geological formations shaped by fire, erosion, and time.

Furthermore, each object in the collection is handcrafted in limited editions, adding to their sense of singularity and soul. These are not just furnishings; they are fragments of imagined terrains, designed to be touched and lived with.

Véronique Rivemale: Mirror as Earthwork

Meanwhile, ceramicist Véronique Rivemale brings a textural counterpoint to the collection. Her Eternal Mirror frames reflection in jewel-like ceramic fragments, glazed in hues that evoke cliffs, lakes, and ancient sediment.

In fact, her process feels more geological than decorative. Each ceramic gem appears as if unearthed, smoothed by time, and placed with patience. As a result, the mirror becomes a topography of pigment and form, reminding us that the act of looking can be just as layered as the materials we look through.

Fabien Conti: Painting the Atmosphere

Finally, the emotional resonance of the exhibition rests in the hands of Fabien Conti. His Herbes 001–008 painting series captures not a literal landscape, but the memory of one. Specifically, the vast skies he experienced during a journey through Japan.

His color palettes oscillate between storm and serenity. Sometimes suffocating, sometimes soft, these canvases hold atmosphere like breath. For instance, his use of contrast and gesture creates tension in one frame and meditative stillness in the next.

Therefore, Conti’s work is less about representation and more about sensation. His skies inform the rest of the show. Not overt, but as a quiet pulse that echoes in Gonzalez’s forms and Rivemale’s textures. His work will be exhibited at the Laura Gonzalez Gallery in New York until March 2026.

As this exhibition proves, the Laura Gonzalez gallery is more than a design showroom. It’s a poetic staging ground for material storytelling, through the eyes and hands of these three visionaries. Where the Landscape Bends, the Spirit Rises becomes a map of emotion, memory, and tactility.

Moreover, it invites us to rethink what interiors can be. A sofa can hold the line of a hill. A lamp can glow like a mineral in the soil. A mirror can reflect not only the face, but the earth.

This exhibition doesn’t just show landscapes. It lets you live inside them.

One day when I was barely two my mom let me push her out of her bedroom. She was curious so she ran outside the house so she could watch me through the window. I climbed up on a chair by her vanity and started putting on her makeup. I loved playing dress up as a kid. Putting on my mom's sequin tube tops and high heeled shoes and then putting on a dance show in the lobby or the restaurant of the hotel/residence we lived in. It was the best childhood ever. Dress-up, dancing, playing with barbies, and drawing were my favorite things to do. I have not changed one bit today. If I am creating I am happy.

Now I am in Paris for the second time in my life and I am having a ball playing with my partner in crime Julien Crouigneau. We founded IRK Magazine together in 2015 and we are proud to collaborate with some amazing artists, and influencers.

We are also a photography duo under the pseudonym French Cowboy. We love to tell stories and create poetic images that are impactful.
