Pierre Yovanovitch Unveils Beauregard Collection and Discusses Design Philosophy
Pierre Yovanovitch, a French designer who has operated a Paris atelier since 2001, is set to unveil Beauregard, a fresh collection of furniture and lighting, on May 14 at the Pierre Yovanovitch Mobilier gallery in New York. The collection, named after his Paris studio, comprises nine items featuring lacquered bases, aerogommé chestnut wood, upholstered seating, and brass accents. In a conversation with Whitewall, Yovanovitch highlighted his design philosophy, which prioritizes atmosphere and emotion. Drawing from his experience with Pierre Cardin, he emphasizes structure and movement. Collaborating with artists such as Claire Tabouret and Tadashi Kawamata, he merges art with architecture. His furniture line embodies his interior design principles, focusing on proportion, texture, and light, further enriched by his time at Château de Fabrègues.
