CLAIRE BÉTAILLE
Interior architect and designer Claire Bétaille, who graduated from École du Louvre and École Camondo, joined 4BI— the studio founded by architect Bruno Moinard— in 2007. Soon involved in developing the Cartier boutique concept, she became a key figure in the agency’ s growth, especially after 2010, when it experienced significant expansion in Asia. In 2012, Bruno Moinard proposed that she join the studio as a partner.
Together, Bruno Moinard and Claire Bétaille bring to life projects including the design and renovation of palaces, boutiques, department stores, museums, private homes, apartments, and prestigious wineries worldwide.
In 2020, marking the 25th anniversary of 4BI, the agency took on a new name, Moinard Bétaille, honoring a decade-long collaboration and success between the two partners.
LA NAISSANCE D’ UNE COLLECTION INSPIRÉE, BY VINCENT SCHLEGEL
Paths, passages, encounters, patterns, forgotten hopscotches, patches of a hedgerow, a wandering geometry dotted with bright points … The lines of the Réminiscence collection, created for Bisazza by Bruno Moinard and Claire Bétaille, bring to the surface an intimate story, a weaving of memories that rise up and dive back into the roots of their inspiration. Bruno’ s childhood curiosity for the precious assembly of stone, brick, and flint in the walls of an old Norman dovecote; Claire’ s wonder as a little girl before the mosaics of a Roman amphitheatre in Aquitaine; their later discovery of floors and walls in places of memory and eternity during their uninterrupted quest for the timeless; their desire to rediscover the spirit of a place and revive its presence: all their sensitivity returns here, blends, and engages in dialogue with the infinite diversity of Bisazza’ s treasures.
