About

Atelier E.B (Edinburgh Bruxelles) is the company name under which the designer Beca Lipscombe and the artist Lucy McKenzie sign their collaborative projects. The group was formed in 2007, and since 2011 the pair have operated as a fashion label which has used local production methods and alternatives forms of distribution and display. Lipscombe and McKenzie place art and design on an equal footing, applying methodologies from both spheres.

Atelier E.B’s intention from the beginning has been to explore the commercial realities of production and distribution, and by extension, to incorporate the expertise and pragmatism of the applied arts to fine art.  Underpinning their ethos is a desire to form new associations, where both research-led and self-generated material combine a vision which is both personal and critical of contemporary hierarchies.  Of utmost importance is their desire to work with the best in industry and independent producers and thinkers.

Works to date include commissioned displays and interiors for public and private space, fashion, textiles, furniture, exhibitions, events and publishing.
