BORN IN BRITAIN IN 1992, ALAN LOUIS BEGAN HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER AS AN OFFICER IN THE MERCHANT NAVY. HOWEVER, HIS TRUE CALLING LIES IN THE FIELDS OF CREATION, DRAWING, AND CERAMICS, WHICH HE EXPLORED IN A SELF-TAUGHT WAY.

IT WAS IN PORTUGAL THAT HE DECIDED TO FULLY INVEST IN THE ART OF CERAMICS, AND IN FALL 2021, HE LAUNCHED HIS OWN BRAND, ALAN LOUIS.

ALAN LOUIS SEES ART AND DESIGN AS MEANS TO EXPRESS HIS EMOTIONS AND ASPIRATIONS. HIS CREATIONS — FURNITURE AND ART OBJECTS — TELL STORIES THROUGH ORGANIC SHAPES AND EVOCATIVE CONTOURS, INTEGRATING VARIOUS MATERIALS SUCH AS WOOD, METAL, AND GLASS IN A BOUNDLESS CREATIVE PROCESS.

THROUGH HIS WORK, ALAN LOUIS CULTIVATES AN ATMOSPHERE OF POETRY, FREEDOM, AND SIMPLICITY. HE CREATES UNIQUE OBJECTS THAT BOTH CAPTIVATE ATTENTION AND CHALLENGE ESTABLISHED NORMS, PLAYING WITH THE DUALITY BETWEEN MINIMALISM AND EXTRAVAGANCE.

EACH PIECE IS ENTIRELY HANDMADE, SIGNED AND NUMBERED BY THE ARTIST IN HIS WORKSHOPS IN RIBATEJO, PORTUGAL.

HIS ARTISTIC EXPLORATION ALSO EXTENDS TO THE FIELDS OF RENOVATION AND INTERIOR DESIGN, AS SEEN IN PROJECTS SUCH AS THE MODERNIZATION OF AN APARTMENT IN LISBON AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AN OLD COUNTRYSIDE HOUSE IN PORTUGAL.

HIS VARIOUS PROJECTS HAVE BEEN CELEBRATED IN MAJOR DESIGN PUBLICATIONS, INCLUDING AD MAGAZINE, ELLE DÉCORATION, AND SEVERAL INTERNATIONAL PRESS FEATURES.
