Jouin intend to revise the industrial culture selecting mass-industrial machinery forms – blast furnaces, turbines, chimney stacks, moulds, forges – and integrating them into the world of luxury.
The Most Iconic Projects:
Mandarin oriental hotel
The result of a collaboration between paris based jouin manku studio and patrick jouin ID, the ‘mandarin oriental hotel‘ located in paris, france has recently opened to the public. Sited within the heart of the city, this venue provides two restaurants, a bar, cake shop, and gardens of diverse atmospheres. Vegetated spaces lead guests into a light filled dining space scented with camellias to blend the interior and exterior boundary. The deliberate surfacing of columns and circulation areas with wood veneer evokes imagery of garden trees and pathways. A distinctive fabrication for this project, the table and chairs’ legs mimic wooded plantings growing from the earth.
Hotel Plaza Athénée
A new look has been created for the bar and restaurant at the Plaza Athénée in Paris by the Jouin Manku design studio. Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku worked in a way similar to the great fashion designers by surrounding themselves with the most talented craftspeople to make every detail of the bar and restaurant a part of the vision.
The only element retained from the restaurant’s former design is the ceiling chandelier which is now reflected in the polished stainless steel domes on the floor.
