Studio LWA

What Studio LWA does

Studio LWA (legal entity LWA SAS) is a Paris-based digital innovation and design agency founded in 2006 by Mat Letellier that delivers bespoke digital solutions to luxury houses (CHANEL, HERMÈS, CARTIER), cultural institutions (Louvre, Centre Pompidou, Monnaie de Paris), government and regulatory bodies (CNIL, Ministère des Affaires Étrangères, ADAGP), and selected private-sector clients including Ardian and Fondation Maladies Rares. Its product surface spans four areas: business applications, editorial and showcase platforms (including WordPress-based e-commerce sites), data risk management tools, and IAM, an AI-powered companion application for neurological patients. Underlying technology relies on standard web development stacks and open-source libraries rather than proprietary platforms, with custom design and AI integration layered onto each engagement. The firm operates on a project-based professional services model, charging for digital strategy, branding, content creation, design, AI integration, and custom development tailored to client specifications, with a small team of 1–10 employees, €50,000 share capital, and no external funding disclosed. Geographic reach is anchored in France with documented delivery in the UAE through the Louvre Abu Dhabi project.

Broad incumbents

• Huge: Global digital experience agency with a strong luxury, cultural, and public-sector practice. Targets the same enterprise RFPs as Studio LWA for brand platforms, internal tools, and AI-enhanced experiences, but with international delivery capacity that LWA cannot match.
• AKQA: WPP-owned digital innovation agency serving premium brands and cultural institutions worldwide. Overlaps with LWA on editorial platforms, business applications, and AI-integrated experiences, but offers global scale and proprietary design-system capabilities.
• Publicis Luxe: Publicis Groupe's dedicated luxury and premium-brand practice. Competes with Studio LWA for the same luxury fashion, jewelry, and beauty digital engagements but operates with the scale, global footprint, and cross-media capabilities of a holding-company network.
• BETC: Havas-owned French creative agency with deep luxury and cultural-institution credentials. Competes for premium brand and public-sector digital work and, like LWA, is Paris-based, but operates at significantly larger scale and with broader integrated campaign offerings.
