Olivier Gagnère is a master of modernizing classical forms, and his creations, which range from ceramics to furniture and lighting design, are sophisticated, imaginative, and always executed at the highest quality. After studying law, Gagnère decided to pursue his artistic passions and in the early 1980s, worked with the Memphis Group in Italy. In 1994, he was entrusted with designing the Marly café at the Louvre Museum in Paris, where he successfully combined his timeless creativity with a historic Napoleonic setting. Today, his work features in the collections of the world’s most prominent museums, including MOMA in New York, the Centre Pompidou, and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs.
