Director Interior Design
François hails from a distinguished lineage of art collectors, tracing back to his ancestors, including the Duchess De Rovigo, renowned patrons of the Château de Versailles. Raised in an environment steeped in art and culture, François received a comprehensive education from his grandfather, a prominent industrialist and art aficionado.
Having pursued art studies at prestigious institutions like the Cours du Louvre in France, the Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, and Van Der Kelen in Brussels, François embarked on his professional journey in Paris, initially focusing on residential projects. It was during this time that he crossed paths with luminaries like Alberto Pinto and Juan Pablo Molyneux, shaping his aesthetic sensibilities and design ethos.
In 2014, François relocated to the Kingdom of Bahrain, where he lent his artistic vision to Daniele Decor, crafting opulent interiors for VVIP clients, luxury hotels, and esteemed establishments such as Cantina Calo at the Ritz Carlton and La Pergola at the Gulf Hotel. His collaboration extended to international ventures, including the Félicien Hotel in Paris, under the guidance of Olivier Lapidus.
In 2020, François embarked on a new chapter in his career, joining XCASSIA as a seasoned collaborator, contributing his wealth of experience and refined artistic flair to selected projects.
