Juliette Collet
44 // Juliette Collet is the designer behind the brand Zü. Juliette is originally from Paris, where she studied Graphic Design, but is currently based in Lyon, France. Juliette finds inspiration all around her. She has always loved observing people and things, which helps her to capture the details that define her style today. This focus on details and her passionate love for handwork blend well in her objects and drawings. Before creating her Zü brand, Juliette worked for a long time as a freelance graphic designer, and she has had many clients in many different fields. She has created packaging, movie posters, websites and sets for animated television, and has also illustrated children’s books. Juliette would love to create porcelain tableware, linens, wallpaper, bags and decorative pieces. She plans to continue to create new designs for textiles and illustrations for stationery, and also to work with major brands.

Boutons d’Or
Juliette has always liked the designs of the 1950s, and this poster was inspired by retro style (the bouton d’or is a small yellow flower that is found everywhere in France).
