Humbert & Poyet:Grand Interiors

The first book by the AD100 duo, well known for their eclectic and luxurious French style.

Humbert & Poyet are celebrated for their varied design vocabulary, restrained and always elegant, yet audacious in its unexpected combinations. Drawing freely from neoclassical references, mid-century modern forms or Italian design from the 1970s, their interiors are in a class of their own, intriguing by virtue of an ineffable touch and a constant tension between restraint and richness.

In this volume, meticulously composed photography captures the studio’s bold, assertive, and expressive style in a selection of their most compelling international projects. Among the standout projects highlighted are the spectacular Villa Pineda on the French Riviera, Milan’s acclaimed Beefbar, located within the restored chapel of a seventeenth-century seminary, and Josun Palace Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Seoul. The studio’s residential portfolio is represented through thoughtfully crafted apartments in New York’s Tribeca district and in Paris’s Tuileries and Marais neighborhoods; a chalet in the Engadin Valley, one of Switzerland’s most exclusive Alpine regions; and a seaside villa in Monaco, shown here for the first time. | French Monegasque duo Emil Humbert and Christophe Poyet founded their eponymous studio in 2008, specializing in ultra-luxury residential and hospitality projects. Their interiors have notably been published by Architectural Digest and Elle Decor worldwide.
