Lionel Jadot (b. 1960) is a scion of the highly reputed family of furniture-makers, Vanhamme, who have excelled in craftsmanship skills since 1895. The Vanhamme workshops were the young Lionel Jadot's favourite play area, and very early, after his classical art education, he achieved his first two complete projects: two lofts and a chalet in Verbier. In the course of the years Jadot created a whole universe of his own, often described as exuberant baroque, sometimes surprisingly minimalist, but always extremely inspired and sophisticated. As well as being an interior designer, Louis Jadot also produces films, and this cinematographic background adds an extra, almost theatrical dimension to his interior work. The book presents a selection of some dozen recent representative achievements by this talented designer.
