The charm of unobtrusiveness : Pascal Allaman in his workshop at the heart of Le Marais

Shortly after graduating from Paris’ ESAM (Ecole Supérieure d’Art Moderne), architect designer Pascal Allaman launched his own agency in 2000. In the vein of one of his early projects –redesigning the Blancpain brand, recently purchased by the Swatch Group–, he has been at work on the remodeling of the Hour Passion shops network, mostly located in Asia. His meeting with Grace Leo-Andrieu propelled him into the hotels and restaurants rede - signing business. He has been working on countless projects in London, Mexico City, Madrid and Paris. Inspired by Jean-Michel Franck or Paul Evans, his main objective is to fight against uniformity. Concludes Allaman: “Being contemporary should not always refer to the straight line.”
