Who is Cleretti?

« In decorating this house, which Crevel regarded as his own, Grindot had tried to compete with Cleretti, in whose hands the Duc d’Herouville had placed Josepha’s villa. But Crevel, incapable of understanding art, had, like all sordid souls, wanted to spend a certain sum fixed beforehand. Grindot, fettered by a contract, had found it impossible to embody his architectural dream.

The difference between Josepha’s house and that in the Rue Barbet was just that between the individual stamp on things and commonness. The objects you admired at Crevel’s were to be bought in any shop. These two types of luxury are divided by the river Million. A mirror, if unique, is worth six thousand francs; a mirror designed by a manufacturer who turns them out by the dozen costs five hundred. A genuine lustre by Boulle will sell at a public auction for three thousand francs; the same thing reproduced by casting may be made for a thousand or twelve hundred; one is archaeologically what a picture by Raphael is in painting, the other is a copy. At what would you value a copy of a Raphael? Thus Crevel’s mansion was a splendid example of the luxury of idiots, while Josepha’s was a perfect model of an artist’s home. »

Founder and Designer

I have been passionate about design, interior architecture and furniture since I was a child. One of the reasons for this is almost surely that my father is a furniture engineer. When I was young I used to watch him draw the models of shops, hotels or restaurants for hours and hours. I was delighted in the slightest creativity, advising him on the colour of the walls or the wood for the floor. Visiting his office was a real feast. I could see the materials in real life and touch the wood samples, compare the multicolored glasses, leaf through the color palettes… All this certainly marked the choice of career and the beginning of my studying in architecture.

After studying architecture in Belarus, I continued my studies in France at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris-Belleville and started my career as an architect in Paris.
