Jean-Pierre Garrault & Henri Delord
"Design begins where art agrees to serve."
In the 1970s, Jean-Pierre Garrault and Henri Delord formed a highly successful creative duo. Both graphic designers, they distinguished themselves by an approach that enhanced architecture and objects through clean lines and vibrant colours. Ranging across different design areas, from furniture to interior design, from coverings to lighting – they always aimed to create perfectly functional objects, blending aesthetics with practicality.
For Jean-Pierre Garrault and Henri Delord, the heart of design lies in the ability to conceive each element so that the result is impeccable, elegant, balanced, and iconic.
Their mission has always been to create objects that are not only aesthetically beautiful but also highly functional. Over the years, they have reworked various production processes to adapt them to the themes they wished to explore, always striving to achieve a perfect synthesis between aesthetics and function, which they consider the true essence of design.
"A beautiful object should not be a privilege, but a given. Design is industrial poetry."
