As designers, we must be bold in the face of challenges. This is not the time to write poems — but if we did, we’d have to be effective poets.”

Patrick Jouin is a French designer of international renown. His creativity spans both industrial design and the decorative arts. Having taken part in exceptional projects alongside leading figures in the design world, he holds a prominent place on the global design stage — one where few can move with such ease and strength.

The evolution of Patrick Jouin as a designer, as well as the work of his studio Patrick Jouin iD, was the subject of a solo exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in 2009. In 2011, he was awarded the Compasso d’Oro for his product Pasta Pot.
