Laurent Maugoust, interior architect, decorator, and designer trained at the Ecole Camondo, has been working on high-end hotel projects in France and abroad for almost 20 years.
Cécile Chenais, a former student at the Ecole du Louvre who came to the decorative arts through the anthropology of space and artistic gesture, has been the creative director of the Laurent Maugoust Architecture studio for 10 years.
Together, they share a taste for the poetry of singular spaces, the sensuality of materials, and the infinite possibilities afforded by the gestures and skills of the master craftsmen with whom they collaborate. It's a demand that encourages them to support innovation and maintain an unwavering concern for the future of materials.
Raw materials, for example, are carefully worked to extract their extreme sophistication. Linen, wool, horsehair, stone, wood, felt and lacquer are transformed, woven, sculpted, assembled, and pitted against each other to create bespoke pieces with clean lines and radical aesthetics.
