PATRICK NAGGAR

Patrick Élie Naggar is a French architect, designer and artist of Egyptian origin, who perfectly embodies the union of art, architecture and design. Born in Egypt and raised in France, he graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris and holds a Master's degree in Urban Studies from the Université de Paris VIII. He was introduced to the world of forms and symbols at an early age, thanks to the influence of his father, a collector of modern art, who exposed him to the works of the greatest artists of the day. His early encounters with the Cobra group, Alechinsky, Maria Elena Vieira da Silva and Serge Poliakoff had a profound impact on his artistic sensibility.

At the heart of Naggar's approach is a fascination with the history of forms, from Antiquity to the present day, combined with a quest for modernity. He stands out for his ambition to renew forms, to sublimate industrial materials, and to bring art and science into dialogue in his creations. He devotes himself to the creation of furniture, objects and spaces, combining different cultures and integrating contemporary research. This resolutely modern and elegant work is expressed in a visual language rich in symbols and imbued with poetry.
