\nA deeply learned alumnus of Paris\u2019s rigorous E\u0301cole Camondo school, Robert Couturier<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0can do consummate period-French style with his eyes closed. But he\u2019d rather not. \u201cIt\u2019s a wasteful and vain exercise,\u201d he says. \u201cWe no longer live that way.\u201d Instead the Paris-born, Manhattan-based conjurer of buildings, interiors, and gardens from America to Azerbaijan (he\u2019s constructing a 100,000-square-foot palace near Baku) likes to walk on the wild side. With a mix-master approach he calls \u201csensual, experimental, and witty,\u201d Couturier composes rooms that are bracing essays in contemporary connoisseurship, confidently seasoned with historical elements (rare antiques, hand-carved boiserie), conversation-piece art, exquisite fabrics in saturated colors, and unexpected objets de vertu that establish a patina of globe-trotting sophistication. Being adventuresome is Couturier\u2019s stylistic wont. As he explains, \u201cI detest anything that takes itself too seriously.\u201d
\nAll in all, Robert Couturier can be said to lend a sense of connoisseurship, imagination, and even experimentation to the traditional design landscape. As he likes to say himself, recalling the rich interiors in which he spent his childhood and youth, \u201cIt is to both grander and greater ends that one invents when one can start with one\u2019s own past.\u201d

\nMany of Mr. Couturier works can be considered iconic. Although to start with Sir James Goldsmith notable estate in Mexico, already mentioned in Biography, needs to be here on the first place. After that Couturier\u2019s career soared and clients from around the world sought him out to design their homes and interiors: from classical castles to contemporary condominiums.
\nWhen Robert Couturier began designing the interior of an apartment in a midtown Manhattan skyscraper, his client expressed one primary desire. \u201cShe wanted something ultracontemporary, because she had done everything else,\u201d Couturier says. The Polish businessman\u2019s wife had previously overseen the design of a number of the family\u2019s other homes in Europe. \u201cThey have incredibly beautiful houses,\u201d says Couturier. \u201cThey have one in Warsaw, another by a lake in the Polish countryside, a place in Geneva, a place in Sardinia, and a boat. Each reflects a different side of her personality.\u201d
