This Spring, Pierre Yovanovitch Architecture d’Interieur will open their first location outside of Paris with a studio in the heart of New York City. While their headquarters will remain in Paris, the new U.S. location is a testament to the studio’s growing breadth of work – recent: private residences in Paris, New York or Brussels, A 17th century castle in Provence, 5-stars hotels in France and Europe, a private museum and scenography of international exhibitions.
Pierre Yovanovitch’s design work is characterized by an interplay of harmonious lines and angles, superior craftsmanship, and an extreme attention to detail. Each project overseen by Yovanovitch is conceived as a bespoke endeavor, creating site-specific furnishings himself and tailoring the interior design to the project’s location and to the client’s lifestyle.
Central to his interiors work is Yovanovitch’s mastery of furniture and lighting design as well as his passion for contemporary art. An avid collector himself, Yovanovitch incorporates contemporary works along with commissioning established and emerging artists to create on-site works. Furthermore, Yovanovitch himself designs many pieces of furniture and lighting in the space, enlisting the best craftsmen throughout Europe to create tailor-made pieces for each project.
This summer, Pierre Yovanovitch will chair the jury of the 3rd International Festival of Interior Architecture in Toulon as part of the annual “Design Parade.” For this occasion, he has also conceived an exhibition in its entirety, including scenography and curation, to be presented in the former bishop’s palace of Toulon from June 28 to September 30, 2018.
