About
Born in Lebanon, Lara Koulajian studied architecture at Barnard-Columbia University and lived in New York City for 10 years before moving to Paris. Shifting to jewelry design, she first started working with the old technique of granulation but then turned to a contemporary style.
With high standards and insensitive to trends, Lara prefers to sculpt her pieces. The creation of forms and volumes on a smaller scale allowed her to obtain results so original that they have inspired other designers. Passionate about architecture and dance, “form in space” is the essence of Lara’s work with more than 500 designs to date. Her style stands out by the apparent simplicity which hides skill and expertise.
In 1991 Lara had her first exhibition in SoHo, NYC, then continued to exhibit at various venues like Bergdorf Goodman, Gray Gallery, FD Gallery, etc. In 2006, she joined the Galerie Naila de Monbrison in Paris, and lately created 'Lara Kleoh', as she aspired for a new, more accessible line. The jewelry is handmade in workshops in France.
