Patrick JOUIN

Born in Nantes in 1967, Patrick Jouin graduated from Ensci in 1992 and began his career at Thomson Multimedia, headed by the famous Philippe Starck. At Tim Thom, Patrick Jouin developed a number of objects: speakers, televisions, telephones, etc. He then continued his work in Philippe Starck's own agency, until, strengthened by this experience and driven by personal projects, he decided to set up his own agency in 1998, in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. Alain Ducasse soon placed his trust in him and asked him to design the decor for his restaurants (Plaza Athénée, Mix in Las Vegas, etc.). He started thinking about furniture, but did not ignore industrial design, from the Nutella spatula to the Decaux sanisette, from saucepans for Alessi to the Vélib bollards in Paris. Seduced by translucent polymer materials, he collaborated with Kartell, notably on the Thalya chair. With each successive project, Patrick Jouin has become a benchmark on the international scene. It stands out for its refined and sometimes daring creations. Working with Alain Ducasse, the Pasta Pot has become an essential kitchen utensil. He draws his inspiration from industrial culture, with manifest forms that are massive yet invisible, which he inserts and reinterprets both in his interior design and in the creation of objects.
