Jean-Marc Gady

Jean-Marc Gady

Jean-Marc Gady was born in Paris in 1971 and graduated from the Ecole Bleue in 1997. An emerging figure in new generation French design, his gift for handling the codes of de luxe creation ensures a range of intervention that extends from objects to space and includes scenography, furnishings, interior architecture and visual presentation. His portfolio speaks for itself: Apple Computers, Baccarat, Chanel, Christofle, De Beers, Dior, Guerlain, Louis Vuitton, Moët & Chandon. His career began in furniture, lighting and tableware, working for Ligne Roset and Liv'it. He was awarded several VIA permanent call grants for project development before joining Louis Vuitton as art director for display windows and events (2002-05), a post that took him all around the world, and notably to the Far East. In 2005 he set up his own design studio in Paris, and since 2008 he also teaches at the École Bleue. Early 2009, his first solo show in New York - 'French Cancan' at Gallery R'Pure - and at Forum Diffusion in September 2009 - made a clear statement of his vocabulary and range, in which elegance and wry humour are constants.
