Interior Designers · Europe“Wallpaper*'s Designer of the Year in 2019, and an AD100 regular since — Pierre Yovanovitch's Paris practice, founded in 2001, is one of the reasons French interior design still sets the pace it does.”
Why Pierre Yovanovitch is in the Design 100
Pierre Yovanovitch built his reputation on precision rather than noise. Since founding his Paris practice in 2001, he has applied something close to couture discipline to interiors: bold, sculptural silhouettes, confident colour, and furniture treated as objects in their own right rather than filler. That approach was recognised outright in 2019, when Wallpaper* named him Designer of the Year for a body of work spanning private houses, hotels and his debut furniture collection, and Architectural Digest placed him in that year’s AD100 — a list he has returned to since.
What distinguishes the studio is range without repetition: chalets, chateaux and city apartments across Europe and the US each carry his hand without repeating the same room twice, a body of work built from one Paris address for twenty-five years. That combination of a distinctive eye and sustained international recognition is exactly what earns Pierre Yovanovitch his place in the Design 100.
