The architectural education of Parisian interior designer Joseph Dirand began at an early age. His late father, Jacques Dirand, was a photographer who worked extensively for shelter magazines, in particular The World of Interiors. Dirand still clearly recalls family trips to see such iconic buildings as Le Corbusier‘s Notre-Dame du Haut chapel, in Ronchamp, France, and hearing about his father’s travels to places like Mexico City, where he shot the house of Luis Barragán, with the legendary architect himself in situ. He also remembers the ritual after each shoot: A courier would deliver the developed film, and Jacques would study it carefully using a light box on the dining table. “Once he’d made his selection, we were allowed to look,” Dirand recently recalled. “Each project was more fantastical than the next.”

He is an entrepreneurial interior architect who founded his own studio in 2002, which specializes in ultra high-end residences, boutique hotels and retail, as well as bespoke furniture design. A couturier, Tristan’s signature panache can be found across the globe. As Principal of Wilson Associates’ Paris atelier, he will oversee the firm’s “hautest” design projects across Europe.

Upon completion, The Chancery Rosewood will deliver Rosewood’s iconic residential atmosphere through 139 thoughtfully designed guestrooms and suites, as well as revitalized public spaces and dining venues designed by Tristan Auer and Bar Studio. Additional amenities and facilities consist of a Yabu Pushelberg designed Asaya integrative wellness facility, five retail outlets and a selection of meeting and events spaces including a 750-guest ballroom. The hotel will mark Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ second property in London and sixth in Europe. Unveiling the spectacular Yacht LIVA O, an awe-inspiring creation by the highly respected yacht builder, Abeking & Rasmussen, in 2023. As the most colossal yacht ever constructed by A&R, LIVA O, also identified as PROJECT CELERIUS, stands as a monumental symbol of opulence and innovation. Key Takeaways My favourite space in my house is the entryway to our high-ceilinged 17th-century apartment in Paris, because it is both classical and warm. The Marmorino stucco walls are painted a dark grey and the conceptual artwork by Jannis Kounellis that hangs near the front door is really welcoming – it has a formal yet emotional beauty. Bespoke furniture by Dirand was included in the inaugural AD Collections exhibition in 2015. [8] Later that year he held his first exhibition of his furniture, which is manufactured by craftsmen at the Ateliers Saint-Jacques and which he describes as a homage to modernist architects who are "heroes" to him, such as Carlo Scarpa, Alvar Aalto, Pierre Jeanneret and Le Corbusier.

Zana designs the best spaces for his clients by establishing systems of habitation that they can easily appropriate. Dirand works in Paris. [6] [7] After receiving the commission while still a student to do the interior design for Junko Shimada's Paris shop, [5] he started his own interior design firm in 1999, when he was 25, and drew public attention with his redesign of a flat facing the Place de la Concorde. After his creation of the new shop for Balmain on rue François-Ier, which has been called "the most beautiful fashion store in Paris", [3] he came to be in demand as an interior architect for fashion companies. [4] Rosewood Hotels and Resorts®, in partnership with renowned real estate developer Qatari Diar, is pleased to announce the latest plans for the brand’s second London property, set to open in 2024 in the city’s distinguished Mayfair district. Officially named The Chancery Rosewood, the new hotel will realize Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ signature A Sense of Place® philosophy, which takes the local sensibilities of a destination to inform the property experience provided there, in myriad ways, including expert-led design and décor. Balancing the rich history of the iconic building with contemporary comforts prioritized by today’s luxury traveler, the hotel will showcase architecture restoration by British architect Sir David Chipperfield of David Chipperfield Architects and interiors by French architect Joseph Dirand.The Chancery Rosewood provides the luxury hotel brand the unique opportunity to create an ultra-luxe residential atmosphere, with the aim to establish a new benchmark for modern luxury and attract a global and local clientele to set the new benchmark in luxury hotels. a b c d e f Suleman Anaya, "The Creative Class | Joseph Dirand, Architect", The Business of Fashion, 21 November 2013. Not far from the madding crowd attending the FIACcontemporary art fair, Joseph Dirand was in the midst of marking his 20-year career with a first monograph, simply titled Interior andpublished by Rizzoli. To coincide with the launch, a selection of his latest furniture designs has been on view at Artcurial as a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it exhibition. Whereas the book draws readers into the discreet yet dramatic apartments, hotels, restaurants and high-end retail spaces that he tailors to arrestingly handsome perfection, the show invites visitors to perceive the materiality of the pieces up-close. Without question, the collection registers as substantial –from a low table in pinkish copper to an openwork cabinet in bronze that weights some 700kg. Even the tome itself feels weightier than most. At the moment when Joseph saw this house, with 242-square-meter space, he knew that it was exactly what he has been looking for. The architect said, “So I was very precise about what I wanted. Design for me must always serve its function — a space well studied delivering a certain quality of life.” a b c Cédric Saint André Perrin, "Vue sur le ciel de Paris", AD (French edition), 11 July 2013 (in French)

Christian Liaigre was born in La Rochelle, France in 1943. He studied at the Paris Academy of Fine and Decorative Arts and taught drawing at the Academy Charpentier. Delphine Roche, "Joseph Dirand fusionne avec brio architecture et design pour sa très réussie première collection", Numéro, 8 December 2015 (in French) After this experience with Balmain I was called by several great fashion brands to collaborate with them and to design their new flagship store concept. What was very surprising was that those brands are so different from each other. That meant they didn’t decide to work with me because of a certain style, but probably more because of a certain way of translating their identity and history into a new experience. This period was extremely inspiring for me because with every project I had to reinvent myself, and this helped me to experiment with a new vocabulary and to escape to the idea of style.You also design furniture which you describe as an homage to modernist architecture. What kind of furniture is it? I am currently working on two big residential buildings, in Miami and New York, in which I design both the architecture and the interior. We are also currently converting the previous US Embassy in Grosvenor Square in London, which was designed by the Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen, into a luxury hotel for Rosewood in collaboration with David Chipperfield. I am also working on the most complex and exciting project I have ever worked on, a private explorer yacht of 118m that we have completely designed, from the hull and the superstructure down to the smallest interior details. It is a puzzle of millions of pieces composed around the idea of traveling in remote places to explore the beauty of this planet. The boat is under construction and will be in the water in less than two years. This was my first experience of boat building, so I had to learn everything and I surrounded myself with the best engineering team to support this vision. We are working on long term projects, so we don’t yet feel the impact of this crisis, though no doubt they will be affected in the future. I prefer to believe that this nightmare will soon find an end, and think about all the people who are really suffering today. Recognised for delivering some of London’s most celebrated landmark schemes, the development is the latest example of Qatari Diar’s continued investment into the UK. The Grade II listed building is currently being reimagined by British architect Sir David Chipperfield as a new retail destination and a Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ luxury hotel. The designer does her best and knows how to mix and combine different items. According to her opinion, there is nothing worse than when an entire room – or worse, an entire house – is designed with one theme all over.
