The Patrick Jouin iD studio, which I founded 25 years ago, is dedicated to industrial design in its broadest sense.

Our aim is to bring people and design together through use. Thinking through design - for the home, for that lunch in the restaurant, for the seat on that subway platform, for the light we see on the city cabs, the light that illuminates the table at our family meals.

Without ever limiting ourselves to an aesthetic, we design each piece by creating its everyday use, and for everyone's everyday life.

"Designing objects is a passion that has never left me. Furniture and lighting design, with its strong emphasis on drawing, also involves thinking about comfort and use, gesture design and the relationship with the body. Creating objects that we look at, touch and use is a matter of striking the right balance between the search for form and the quality of use that will be generated." Patrick Jouin
