Biography

Lacroix works within the Swedish cabinetmaking tradition, combining established craft techniques with a contemporary approach to furniture and object design. Her work often begins with the individual qualities of the wood, allowing grain, texture and irregularities to influence the final form rather than concealing them beneath uniform surfaces.

Her pieces are generally produced by hand and frequently incorporate carved surfaces alongside carefully finished areas. This contrast between irregular hand-worked textures and more precise construction has become a recurring feature of her work.
