The art of design at the service of experience

Renowned French designer Patrick Jouin has established himself for over two decades as one of the most unique creators of his generation. Trained at ENSCI–Les Ateliers, he began his career alongside Philippe Starck before founding his own agency, Patrick Jouin ID, in 1999. He quickly developed a recognizable visual and functional language, at the intersection of industrial design, furniture, scenography, and interior architecture.

His approach is distinguished by his extreme attention to use, gesture, and emotion. Whether for large-scale production or custom projects, he infuses each object, each space, with a form of elegant simplicity—never decorative, always meaningful.

Rewarded with numerous distinctions (including the Compasso d'Oro, and Designer of the Year from Maison&Objet and the Salon du Meuble de Paris), Patrick Jouin has also been a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts since 2021. His work is featured in the collections of MoMA (New York), the Centre Pompidou, and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs.
