Patrick Jouin: The Art of Space. Jouin Manku Studio., Gebunden

Klappentext

A curated selection of projects, unfolded through thematic chapters, each tracing a specific approach to space, perception, and emotion.

This illustrated monograph traces the evolution of Jouin Manku, from founding vision to contemporary practice. It reveals a design philosophy rooted in the fusion of craft, emotion, and spatial intelligence, where architecture, interiors, and objects form a seamless continuum. Central to the studio's approach is its expertise in hospitality design, and its privileging of experience and narrative. The publication highlights a deep engagement with materiality and artisanal detail, as well as the importance of collaboration with chefs, brands, and cultural institutions.

A curated selection of signature projects illustrates the studio's international impact, while dedicated sections unpack its process---from concept sketches to construction. Each project is presented through drawings, models, and photographs, and through the words of those who conceived and inhabited these spaces. Furniture and bespoke objects are examined as integral to spatial storytelling. Finally, the monograph reflects on future directions, addressing sustainability, evolving notions of luxury, and the changing dynamics of contemporary design practice.
