Every year, Maison & Objet spotlights the most outstanding names on the contemporary international design and d\u00e9cor scene. A dabbler and explorer at heart, Pierre Charpin is the January 2017 Maison & Objet Paris Designer of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\t Pierre Charpin stamps his unique style on every piece he designs: formal simplicity, softened by curved lines and often highlighted by distinctive chromatic choices. Clean and sensual, elegant and warm, his creations instantly evoke an emotional reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Born in the outskirts of Paris to a family of artists , Pierre Charpin trained at the Bourges School of Fine Arts and developed his culture of design in Italy, working most notably alongside various figures from the Memphis Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pierre Charpin has collaborated with numerous prestigious brands, such as Alessi, Crystal Saint- Louis, Design Gallery Milano, Herm\u00e8s, Ligne Roset, Manufacture Nationale de S\u00e8vres, Post Design, Tectona, Venini, Wrong for Hay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Maison & Objet in January 2017, Pierre Charpin will present his PC lamp, developed in partnership with Sebastian Wrong. A seemingly simple design, it required three years of research, due to its complex articulation mechanism and invisible technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pierre Charpin has received various awards and prizes for his work. In 2004, he won the international contest launched by Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d\u2019Eau de Paris for the development of a moulded glass water jug. In 2005, his Triplo vase, produced by Venini, was featured in the official selection of the Compasso d\u2019Oro Prize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":852,"template":"","news_types":[5],"class_list":{"0":"post-849","1":"luxoria_news","2":"type-luxoria_news","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"news_types-stories"},"yoast_head":"
