Christian Ghion

A key player in the world of design, Christian Ghion (1958) studied at the Paris-Conflans School of Architecture, then joined the ENSCI (National School of Industrial Design).  At the age of 28, he founded his own design studio with Pierre Nadeau. They received the Grand Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris in 1991. In 1998, he decided to continue his adventure solo. Several encounters had a decisive impact on his career: Andrée Putman in 1994, designer Teruo Kurosaki, whom he met during his semester in Tokyo in 1995 and who decided to market his furniture, and Philippe Starck in 1997.
 
A true jack-of-all-trades, Christian Ghion is now recognized for his creations of objects and furniture, as well as for his talents as an interior designer and scenographer. Drawing inspiration from the arts and Asia, which he is particularly fond of, he designs objects, furniture, vases, jewelry, and accessories for prestigious brands such as Cinna, Daum, Fred, Christian Dior, Christofle, and Laguiole in France, and Cappellini, Driade, Alessi, Nespresso, Salviati, and Sawaya & Moroni internationally.  His style is nourished by organic forms and the surprising properties of innovative or reworked materials. They stimulate his taste for movements that seem to have no end or beginning, as if the interior and exterior were merging.
 
In 2010, he received the prestigious Red Hot Design Award for his “artwork radiator” made in Dorian and produced by Runtal.
Since 2017, Christian Ghion has been collaborating with the MiniMasterpiece Gallery to create jewelry.
