Noé Duchaufour Lawrence &creativity
A Blend of Lightness
Noé Duchaufour-Lawrence is in a category of his own. His background is not a typical one and he assumes it well. He conceives space as an object and takes pleasure in creating a harmonious environment. His mother was an art teacher and his father a sculptor, he was, therefore, immersed in art from the word go. One might consider that his life was mapped out from the beginning. “And so it was,” he proclaims, admitting that he already knew what career he wanted to pursue at the age of 15. He believes that creation has no foundation, no history or roots. Seduction is part and parcel of his world, making his work all the more sensual, structured, and bewitching. A dabbler par excellence, he has wowed the biggest brand names. Spiritual availability is his by-word. The peculiarity of his expertise has made him one of today’s most fashionable designers. This month, Prestige International encounters a discreet outsider who has taken the world of design by storm.
