The Boldness of Parisian Design

A decorator and designer based in Paris, Michel Pignères left his mark on the 1970s with his sculptural approach to furniture. Less classical than Maison Jansen, he captured the spirit of his time by creating pieces akin to true geometric works of art.

The Aesthetic: Geometry and Transparency

Pignères's work rests on the balance of volumes and the use of materials that capture and diffuse light. His furniture is characterised by imposing yet elegant metal structures, often combined with plays of mirror or glass.

Materials: Chromed steel, brushed brass, mirror and plexiglass.

Icons: Cross-structured consoles, faceted coffee tables and geometric mirrors.

A Collector's Signature

Michel Pignères's creations are today highly sought-after collector's pieces at auction. They embody a bold, resolutely modern vision of luxury, capable of transforming any room into an exceptional space with a character all its own.
