Biography

Bordeaux-born Vincent Poujardieu trained at the Bordeaux Art College (Ecole des Beaux Arts de Bordeaux).

Creative approach

His free spirit and uncompromising nature led him to become a state-of-the-art designer. Little by little he started marrying cutting-edge technology with his personal designing skills. From this alliance, wonderful lines and shapes emerged coupled with a never-ending questioning of the meaning of objects and challenge to the laws of balance. His designs, enhanced by the materials used, give an impression of unlimited force through their feat and sensuousness.

Vincent Poujardieu runs the Poujardieu agency and devotes itself to research, development, project-building for furniture, objects, products and single-edition pieces.

Field of activity

He works hands in hands with eminent French partners from the world of industry and technology, but with single craftsmen too, and they are all, like him, fired with the spirit of innovation. Vincent Poujardieu’s designs are highly unusual and are exhibited internationally on the edited design circuit and gallery. His pieces can be publicly or privately commissioned. His creations are exhibited at shows and events both in France and abroad and appear in various publications.

In 2012, Vincent Poujardieu received the prize  » Knowledge of the Arts  » awarded by the National Academy of Sciences, Literature and Arts of Bordeaux.
