Artistic objects from Paris in France
Pierre Charpin was born in 1962 and graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Bourges in 1984. The artist has devoted himself to furniture and object design since the early 1990s. His approach to design is strongly influenced by his artistic background. Pierre's research into form and colour shapes his work and can be seen both in limited editions and in industrial products such as the PC lamp from HAY. The use of simple, elementary shapes is a constant feature of his creations, as is the desire to create sensual objects. A sketch, which he uses as the starting point for his designs, is an essential part of his creative process. Pierre Charpin's work has been shown in exhibitions around the world and is held in many renowned museums.
The Paris-based designer was named Designer of the Year by Maison&Objet in 2017.
