Joris Poggioli

Joris Poggioli is a French-Italian architect and designer, born in 1988 in the French Alps. While studying architecture he worked in his uncle’s sculpture workshop, and he still approaches every project, from a single table to an entire interior, the way a sculptor would.

In 2017 he founded his atelier along with Youth Editions, his own publishing label, so he could follow each piece from the first sketch to the finished object. His collectible pieces, from the Enamorados, Eden Paradiso, Totem and Palladio collections, are made by hand in Italy, often in limited editions of twelve, signed and numbered.

His vocabulary comes down to full volumes, generous curves and strong materials: marble, travertine, onyx, gloss lacquer, velvet and, for the Totem series, silver plate. French elegance sits alongside a touch of Italian eccentricity, with references that run from Andrea Palladio to the architecture of the 1930s.

He has been named to the AD100 list of architects and designers four years in a row.
