Born in 1967, designer Patrick Jouin graduated from the École nationale supérieure de création industrielle (ENSCI) in Paris. In 2009, his work, along with that of his design studio Patrick Jouin iD, were the subject of a solo exhibition at the Pompidou Centre. He was awarded the Compasso d’Oro prize for his Pasta Pot kitchen utensil, produced by Alessi. Several of his pieces feature in permanent museum collections, including the 2004 Solid range at MoMA, which was the first edition of furniture to be made using 3D printing technology.
Working with companies likes of Cassina, Pedrali, Porada and Alessi, his vision and perception of craftsmanship and design can be seen in each of his projects, whether for production, research or street furniture. A firm believer that design can enhance daily life, Patrick Jouin has designed projects with the Paris region’s transport networks RATP and Grand Paris Express, and with street furniture corporation JCDecaux.
In 2025, he unveils Patrick Jouin Édition, a collection where material and craftsmanship are given free rein. Conceived as an intimate laboratory, this first series of self-published pieces celebrates singularity, the excellence of savoir-faire, and the invitation to the unexpected that defines his world.
