Patrick Jouin

Patrick Jouin (born 1967) is a French designer celebrated for his versatile, material-driven work that bridges product, interior, lighting, and experiential design. He studied at the Ecole Nationale Superieure de Creation Industrielle (ENSCI) and initially collaborated with Philippe Starck before founding his own studio in 2000. His design philosophy emphasizes simplicity, tactility, and narrative content - he often seeks to embed subtle stories or gestures into everyday objects. In the lighting realm, Jouin's creations combine precision engineering with emotion, using carefully tuned materials and details to generate ambiance while retaining visual restraint.
