Gonalons is a designer and interior architect based in Paris. Brought up in Lyon, he very early on develops a pronounced taste for art history as well as french cultural heritage.

After graduating from Camondo school, he quickly sets the tone for his singular take on design and space. He founds his own creative studio at the age of 23 and collaborates with presitigious brands, all while developing his own collections and showing them in international galleries.

Renowned brands and distributors quickly trsut him both for the relevance of his designs and for the the visual and scenaristic stories he assembles during his collaborations. His clients include: Chloé, Kiehl’s, Knoll, Lalique, L’Oréal Luxe, and Nina Ricci Parfums. He also produces limited edition items.

Drawing inspiration from a long history of craftsmanship of traditional materials, his creations come across as both simple and spectacular dialogues between present and past. He defends a minimalist approach of design imbued with references to pop culture and decorative arts.

Designer, decorator, creative director, and exhibition designer, Pierre has an all-encompassing vision from which he draws his strength. Born in France and engrossed by Italian culture, he is a strong advocate of design practices that combine decorative arts with minimalism.
