FRederic imbert studio
Founded in 2019, Frédéric Imbert studio develops interiors, furniture, and scenography, enriched by research and creation around new materials and textures.
With an office in Paris and a workshop in Normandy, Frédéric has complete visibility over all the stages of creation, which allows him to sign entirely his projects: from the architecture to the smallest detail. Also based in Beirut, a key city for his work, the studio shines internationally through various collaborations with artisans and galleries such as Jag (Paris), Aequo (India) and Chaos in Beirut. Each of these collaborations highlight the natural aesthetic of the studio.
A sculptor of spaces, limited pieces as well as series, Frédéric loves having his ‘hands on the material’ and works with unexpected, local materials. He works in a measured low-tech way and advocates a certain kind of spontaneity. “ Always being in motion, allows me acontinuous exuberant approach without worrying about methods and limits”, this variety is the starting point of the studio. Frédéric develops a logical approach, a vision of production with reuse in mind, a respect for time, highlighting the handwork with a constant quest of a particular finesse, a search for impact, emotional as much as it is visual.. His projects are odes to the material: the material is the decor; the architecture of a place must be magnified, and the senses stimulated.
For Frédéric Imbert, everything is a collaboration. His work, as soft as it is contrasted, he’s motivated by a purity of lines and an earnest pursuit for the exchange of knowledge. Each production is based on a new dynamism and a new opportunity, a real source of creative fulfillment and intellectual experiences. Behind each piece or project, there’s a story that’s come about from a deep conversation between what the architecture has to offer and the desire of his clients. The studio supports renowned clients, such as Isabel Marant, Lanvin and Jo Malone, on various projects and on different scales: from residential projects to hotel, restaurant, or a cinema.
Frédéric Imbert has gradually developed a unique aesthetic, a practice stemming from the decorative arts: a form of ethical and sustainable luxury with sensual organic forms highlighted by a sober and confident
Our studio is a young company but we want to impact our world in a positive way. Step by step, we correct our environmental impact and refine our sustainability objectives.
In 2023, we’ll spend 10% of the annual turnover in the purchase of lands in Normandy, France. This objective is rooted in the need to protect local biodiversity and actively contribute to its preservation. It will also help the studio to reduce the impact issued by some of our collaborations.
We aim to make 100 hectares of varied land sacred. Our acquisitions will be studied with the aim of not interfering with agriculture and forestry. These lands will also aim to support local populations facing the climate change and provide them with various free services (CO2 consumption, water management, etc.).
“Beyond being the main source of inspiration for the studio and the legacy of future generations, nature is our best ally to face of the tragic global warming that we are already facing. Protecting it is the least we can do, helping to restore it is the first priority, and that’s what we’ll do. »
