Frédéric Imbert

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. Frédéric Imbert is inspired by the beauty of nature, its landscapes, and their plethora of details: the appearance of foliage, the rocks; and he also admires the creative arts: from the potter to the gilder. 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. For more than four years, 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 line: diversion is often a pleasure, putting to benefit the senses is a necessity.
