Travel Notebooks - Bruno Moinard - 10 years Bruno Moinard Éditions
Our Maison is celebrating its 10th anniversary!
This year, 10 years since interior designer, scenographer and painter Bruno Moinard launched Bruno Moinard Éditions, his furniture and lighting interior design brand and creative studio.
In 10 years, more than 200 pieces have been created by the studio, where today a team of 10 people works.
In 10 years, we have been able to build up a network of exceptional artisans around our project, whose savoir-faire enhances our furniture and lighting at every stage.
In 10 years, we have also defined a territory that belongs only to us: our pieces are inspired by the very rich history of French furniture, sometimes revisiting very ancient techniques, with an offbeat and very contemporary look.
Throughout this first decade of activity, this double anchoring has only grown stronger. Today, we are proud to note that our first creations, which have become "timeless", still appeal as much as when they first appeared.
It’s Bruno Moinard Éditions spirit.
Bruno Moinard
Bruno Moinard holds a degree from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d'Art Olivier de Serres.
Following a remarkable 15-year tenure alongside Andrée Putman at the Écart International agency, he embarked on a new journey by founding the 4BI agency in 1996, which later evolved into the Moinard Bétaille agency in 2020.
In 2002, Cartier entrusted him with the task of developing its new concept and adapting it to Cartier boutiques worldwide. This collaboration has led to the creation of over 500 boutiques, solidifying a longstanding partnership.
Warm minimalism, understated elegance, and timeless sophistication define Bruno Moinard's approach to design.
His impressive portfolio includes iconic projects such as the Hotel du Marc for Veuve Clicquot in Reims, the Château Latour in Pauillac, the Plaza Athénée Hotel in Paris, the Eden Hotel in Rome, the Four Seasons Hotel and La Dame de Pic restaurant at Ten Trinity Square in London, the Château Troplong Mondot in Saint-Emilion, the Clos de Tart estate in Morey-Saint-Denis, and the Cala di Volpe hotel in Sardinia. In each of these endeavors, Moinard's philosophy emphasizes the art of subtlety, elevating the importance of meticulous attention to detail and impeccable finishing.
In 2014, Bruno Moinard Éditions emerged as a beacon of creativity, introducing its inaugural collection of furniture, lighting, and accessories. This milestone was soon followed by the unveiling of the Bruno Moinard Éditions Gallery, nestled in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés at 31 rue Jacob, Paris.
Beyond his accomplishments in design, Bruno Moinard is deeply passionate about painting, a medium that grants him unparalleled freedom of expression. His captivating artworks find a permanent home in the Bruno Moinard Éditions Gallery, where they harmoniously complement the furniture pieces within the collection.

The Studio
In the vibrant Parisian studio of Bruno Moinard Éditions, a multidisciplinary team of 10 individuals fully engages in every stage of the editing process. From the initial design of collections to their exhibition in the Paris gallery, and their distribution through a network of distributors located in 11 key cities such as New York, Hong Kong, Taipei, Miami, Toronto, and Vancouver.
The exceptional craftsmanship of manufacturing is ensured by a rigorous selection of the finest French artisans, longstanding partners of the Bruno Moinard Éditions adventure.
In order to meet the specific needs of interior designers, the team also develops custom designs, drawing on the models from the collection. They provide 3D renderings of the furniture, facilitating their seamless integration into interior design projects.
In parallel, the team collaborates on the design of licensed collections with prestigious partners such as Roche Bobois, Veronese, Obumex, and Promemoria. They also create bespoke furniture for luxury brand boutiques, ranging from jewelry to haute couture and beyond.
The French Handcrafted Production
The tradition and richness of French craftsmanship are unparalleled, imbuing each creation with a centuries-old heritage. These precious skills trace their origins back to the long tradition of French furniture, renowned for its excellence and refinement.
Thanks to this exceptional quality of craftsmanship, the creations of Bruno Moinard Éditions seamlessly fit into the prestigious history of French decorative arts, perpetuating a valuable cultural legacy.
The close dialogue with artisans, who often work in workshops certified as EPV (Living Heritage Companies), serves as a constant source of inspiration. This enriching collaboration not only enhances the comfort and beauty of the designs but also adds to the authenticity and uniqueness of each piece, thus demonstrating an unwavering commitment to French craftsmanship excellence.
