The two artists quickly understood the synergy which
existed between them as one of life's gifts, joined forces
and developed new projects together, imagining decoration
as if writing a scenario with joy and motivation. Their
cooperation marked a new departure: that of large-scale
projects throughout the world.
Ten years after creating his agency, he decided to stop over in
Paris where a memorable meeting would give new impetus to
his agency’s production; a man passionate about elegance,
a self-taught man who was then working for Lanvin: Nicolas
Adnet, introduced by a mutual friend.
Two personalities and characters, but with an eerily similar
outlook and desire to embellish everyday life. Nicolas was then
working in the world of haute couture, admired Montana and
the work of Yves St Laurent “the absolute master who embodied
elegance, respect and impertinence, colour and style”
With Club Med they fully participated in the move by the
company into the upmarket end. They introduced the start
of a new concept - that of the 5 tridents Villages and the
luxury villas in Mauritius (La plantation d'Albion). Followed
by numerous renovations (Cancun, Ixtapa, Bali Phuket, etc.)
the gigantic project of Valmorel: its village, its 5-trident
space and its chalets. Recently another creation of the
Studio MHNA has marked a new stage in the raising of the
standards and the development of Club Med, that of the
opening of the Village of Guilin in China.
Their work on beauty has a real relevance, with a
pronounced taste for attention to detail. Together, they
personalise their accomplishments with the natural
richness of the places which they inhabit, being inspired
not only by local culture, traces and traditions, but also by
the unsurpassable talent contributed by craftspeople, true
partners in creation.
Thanks to this exclusive approach which forms part of a
strong identity, the Studio MHNA has expanded and currently
employs more than twenty-five pea*.
Nicolas and Marc share projects by combining their ideas
and emotions
When the duo imagines chic places to dine, they like to
work with the desire to dream and escape. Some of the
restaurants designed and decorated by the studio include
those of Michel Rostang (Dessirier, !Absinthe, Jarrasse,
Le Cafe des Abattoirs), the Pourcel brothers and Antoine
Westermann, Frederic Duca at l'Instant d'Or in Paris. These
places exuberantly associate with delectation, character
to impertinence, humour to tenderness, and elegance to
pleasure.
