Jordane Arrivetz

Hôtel Nuage par Jordane Arrivetz à Paris

After a stint at the Camondo school, Jordane Arrivetz studied with some of the great names in design: the iconic India Mahdavi and the innovative Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance. This was followed by several years at the iconic Louis Vuitton designing boutiques as well as a period as artistic director of the Costes design office.

Reminded of her desire for independence, the architect founded her own studio l’agence notoire in 2017 with the ambition of bringing brand DNA, spaces and furniture into dialogue.

Since then, her inspirations and creations have been invading the contemporary design landscape. Hotel Nuage in the heart of Paris, Chalet de Pierres on the peaks of Courchevel, Jean-François Piège’s gourmet restaurant in Gordes… The designer brilliantly makes the soul of the places she is in charge of speak for itself.

« As a child, I used to wander between my father’s architectural firm and my grandfather’s contemporary furniture store… This forged my tastes and inspirations! I was well educated from a very young age.

 

Traveling also allowed me to see many different things, to confront different styles and to have a very open mind, in general. »

Form, fonction or fantasy ?

Hippodrome d’Auteuil – Notoire

« All three! In the hotel industry, you can’t separate form from function: the operational part is the heart of the matter. And the fantasy is the grain of salt that adds to the whole and makes customers want to come back. »
