Combining functionality with poetry, creating a "multifaceted
trademark which is nevertheless recognisable" in the French
spirit, is the direction which the two partners are taking,
bringing with them in their enthusiastic and infinite production
hotel flagships such as the Martinez in Cannes or the Grand
Hotel de Cabourg, a testimonial to hundred-year old luxury,
renowned for its role in the beginning of sea bathing.
For Accor, they are helping to transform the Sofitel hotels
so that they join the refined and highest end of the market
in Lisbon, Marseille (Vieux Port) in Casablanca and soon
in Frankfurt. In Quiberon they have revisited the mythical
thalassotherapy spa for the group, paying a fantastic tribute to
Brittany...
Hotels belonging to large groups, mythical luxury hotels, high
profile and gastronomic restaurants, but also boutique hotels
(Les Jardins de la Villa in Paris or the East West in Geneva),
paradisiacal resorts (Moofushi in the Maldives for Constance
Hotels & Resorts) and private projects, the studio produces
and designs many unique works serving the history of a place
but also associating artistic expression. True creation is one
which is shared and open to others, building bridges and links
between the idea and the production, the design and the
realisation; which brings together expertise and gives it full
rein.
Certain of their works are now produced by very reputable
French manufacturers.
Their 25 years of experience, their career paths, their voyages,
their vision of things, their analyses, their singularity and the
fineness and richness of their ideas have brought certain
of their clients to ask them to have a much larger approach
towards the projects. Today as well as being used for their
expertise and savoir-faire, they have been entrusted with
missions of artistic direction and global design.
