The Franco-Israeli interior architect and designer Emmanuelle Simon founded her studio in Paris in 2017. Since then, she has worked on a wide range of interior architecture projects worldwide, from private residences to public spaces. In parallel, drawing on her dual degree from the École Camondo, she designs and produces her own line of exceptional furniture and lighting.
Emmanuelle Simon approaches each project with a holistic vision that extends from the architecture to the object. Every creation is conceived as a singular setting with a strong identity. Her bespoke pieces, designed with rigor and precision, are crafted in close collaboration with artisans of outstanding expertise. At the Grand Palais, during the Révélations Biennale, she presented her Raku-Yaki Cabinet-Bar, an emblematic work in her creative universe.
Her aesthetic is defined by refined sophistication, where the raw presence of materials instills authenticity into the clearly mastered lines of her designs, achieving a perfect balance.
The composition of each volume reveals shifting perspectives through subtle transitions, renewing the central notion of experience that is fundamental to her approach.
Her meticulous attention to detail has earned her numerous accolades, including five inclusions in the AD100 list of the world’s leading architects and designers, as well as the Wallpaper* Design Award for ‘Best Calm Spot’ with her spa for the Franco-Japanese brand Evidens de Beauté.
In 2023, she unveiled her apartment-showroom in Paris, followed by the opening of her Madrid office the next year, further affirming her international presence. The studio is currently working on residential projects in Paris, Madrid, and Mallorca, alongside the creation of new furniture pieces.
