We design interiors and architecture starting from what cannot be seen: the habits, the stories, the character of those who will inhabit them. Every space emerges from attentive listening and is translated into a carefully balanced harmony of beauty, function, and identity.
In a metaphysical sense, we are in constant pursuit of harmony, creation, and beauty - in all their forms. If a picture paints a thousand words, then a space can inspire a million stories. For us, these stories are everything. We search for them in every place we work. We let our curiosity wander freely through a landscape, delving into its past and questioning its character until it has told us all it can — its legends, its quirks, its crafts. With these elements in our hands, we shape a new story. We experiment, we explore, we refine. And as we do, the essence of a place intertwines with the emotions of a space. We bring them together to create something moving, memorable, and magical.
With a certain nonchalance, so as to conceal all art and make whatever one does or says appear to be without effort.
Each project we create holds a secret: the personality of those who will live within it. That’s why, whenever we begin a new project, our thoughts go to the people who will inhabit it. We imagine their habits, their desires, the objects they love and surround themselves with - moments, situations, atmospheres. These are like snapshots of life itself. From these impressions, our ideas begin to take shape. From these ideas, our own style is born - a style that people can identify with, and within it, recognize themselves. It’s an exchange. 'It’s how you live'. It expresses a simple, and essential truth: to be inspired by people, by their way of life. Every Adrien & Stefan creation is dedicated to them - to their lives, and to the emotions they experience every single day.
Every project begins with a private conversation.
A private initial meeting to understand your desires, expectations, and vision. Sometimes all it takes is a shared idea to shape something extraordinary.
MORE THAN PLACES. STORIES THAT SPEAK.
It is essential to know how to frame the future - to understand the real challenges before deciding where to focus our energy. This book is a reflection on some of the issues we face, and how we intend to approach them. We listen carefully, think deeply, and speak openly - usually in that order.
... 'It was there that we realized there existed a place where people engaged with the world of ideas, of emotions, that we too desired to be a part of.' ...
Thanks for your time
