Kristofer Laméy

Born in Newnan, Ga. and raised in Atlanta, Kristofer Laméy has brought much to the southeastern Art and Design table.

From debuting his unique design perspective at the 2007 ICFF in New York City and showcasing his Art at Aqua during the 2008 Art Basel in Miami to his solo Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA) exhibit titled “Serving Form” in 2010, Kristofer is best known for his one-off commissioned sculptural art forms. His work has found a place in homes and collections across the globe.

One of his most ambitious design challenges was solving a decades-long problem in the aviation industry: How to more efficiently design and install jet aircraft interiors. This was the birth of AIMS (Aircraft Interior Modular System)

Kristofer’s work straddles a line between art and design. Many, lost in the engineering of his creations like to push his work out of the art category and into the realm of design. This line is the fulcrum that leverages his work into a playing field, and he is proud of that. Those looking for solutions in the marketplace that need an outside perspective to differentiate a product benefit from his approach to manufacturing.

In April 2020 Kristofer moved his family to the North Georgia mountain town of Ellijay where he resides with his wife Jenna and three children; Augustus, Jolene, and Atlas. His studio and gallery space is located in the heart of Downtown, Atlanta in the upper and lower lobby of the beautiful Marquee Two Tower.

The Laméy family practices their own vision of living sustainably. A vision fortified by many family trips across the country and abroad. Dedication to their sustainable lifestyle has gotten the attention of television personality Mike Rowe, who recently filmed a 60-minute documentary on their lives on his show Somebody's Gotta Do It, season 5, episode “The Laméy Family” aired on Oct. 2020 on Trinity Broadcasting Network.

Kristofer’s passion in the martial art of Aikido & Aikibujutsu Started in 1998, training in these arts until 2019. He currently holds a 3rd-degree black belt (dan ranking) and 3rd-level instructor certification (Shidoin) from world-renowned Sensei Toshishiro Obata (link).
