ORIGINS
"From my travels through Italy and Japan, I witnessed firsthand the unparalleled expertise of Japanese and Italian architects and designers.
While working at Louis Vuitton's Headquarters, I saw our Paris-based architectural team designing exceptional stores globally. There, I understood that a talented team can create high end projects anywhere in the world, bridging distances thanks to organization and communication.
Few years later when these two lessons came back to my mind, I saw an opportunity: to bring the creativity of Japanese and Italian architects and designers to French clients, facilitated by a Paris office. HACH Studio was born."
