When I close my eyes and dream sweet interior design daydreams, Parisian designer Pierre Yovanovitch seems to be taking up a lot of airtime these days. But it’s hard to get even mildly upset about it when your brain conjures such scenes as this:
Largely self taught (his first career was in fashion working for the likes of Pierre Cardin), he got his interior design start when he redesigned his own apartment in Paris. From there friends started hitting him up to do their own spaces and word of his genius quickly spread. In 2000 he officially opened his own firm and has never looked back, having graced the pages of countless international interior design and architecture publications that detail his work in residences and public spaces throughout Paris and elsewhere in Europe. (And in 2010, he was named to Architectural Digest’s AD 100 list.)
Throughout his work is a clear affinity for 20th Century American & Scandinavian design, and a deep appreciation for the architecture of a space. (His team is largely made up of architects rather than interior designers.) And his use of curves always get me – they are truly an astounding site to behold.
So, come, daydream away with me.
