Jacques Grange

21Jun09

At my day job, every so often I give a presentation on a topic, person, design aesthetic, object, etc. that interestes me. Normally, I try to choose a topic either related to interior design, France or a current project. This time, I simply chose a personal interest.  

For tomorrow’s presentation I’ll be talking about Jacques Grange, a highly renowned French interior designer/decorator. He is a superstar in the design world, having working with clients such as Yves Saint-Laurent, Caroline of Monaco, Francois Pinault, etc. He designed the interior of the Mark Hotel on Madison Ave. in New York City. He was named Knight of the Legion of Honor (France’s highest distinction)… his list of accomplishments and accolades could go on and on. 

A student of classical interior, architecture and creating functional objects, M. Grange is know for combining extraordinary antique pieces with the very contemporary, getting enjoyment from strong juxtapositions… He also has two great books showing the full range of his work. 

If you are interested in seeing my entire presentation, email me and I’ll pass it along…
