Step inside the Paris apartment of French product and interior designer Pierre Gonalons, celebrated for his refined balance of heritage, craftsmanship, and contemporary expression. Known for his work across interiors, furniture, and collectible design, Gonalons brings a deeply personal sensibility to his own home—one that reflects both his creative vocabulary and his reverence for history.
Trained at the prestigious École Camondo and named to AD’s Top 100 Designers, he is one of the most compelling voices in contemporary French design — and nowhere is that more apparent than in how he actually lives. Here he perfectly embodies his singular vision: where minimalism meets maximalist curiosity, and the past and present exist in effortless dialogue.
Gonalons has built a body of work that resists easy categorization. He collaborates with houses like Lalique, Chloé, and Pierre Frey, develops limited-edition collections for international galleries, and serves as creative director of the historic Italian design publisher Paradisoterrestre — all while pursuing a design philosophy rooted in something deeper than trend.

Set within a classic Parisian building, the apartment serves as a living laboratory for his ideas. Layered but never overwhelming, each object chosen with intention — contributing to a narrative that feels both timeless and distinctly individual. Pieces from his own collections sit seamlessly alongside historic finds, blurring the line between designer and collector.
More than just a residence, this apartment reveals how Gonalons lives with design — intuitively, thoughtfully, and with a deep appreciation for craft. A space that evolves over time, where beauty is found not in perfection, but in the quiet harmony of well-chosen elements. You’ll be inspired, informed and entertained!!
