Camille Walala was born in Provence, France,[5] moved to the United Kingdom at the age of 23, and later studied textile design at the University of Brighton.[6] In 2009, she established Studio Walala in East London.[1]

In 2017, Walala was invited by NOW Gallery in South London to create an interactive, life size installation, for which the studio created an immersive so-called "temple of wonder".[7]

In 2021, during a period of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Walala reimagined the Design Museum shop as a grocery store, selling essential products re-designed by emerging artists such as Kentaro Okawara, Joey Yu, Isadora Lima and Michaela Yearwood-Dan.[8]
