Interview with Joseph Dirand Designer, Interviews
|
“What really matters to me, a lot more than the interior, is light. Light is what makes architecture alive. Whereever I go, especially my studio, my apartment, the places I used to live, I have to see the sky!”
I can barely contain my enthusiasm for the work of the Parisian architect and designer Joseph Dirand. Stunning, simple, beautiful… Recently I had the great pleasure of talking with Joseph Dirand. Enjoy the interview. I sure did!
Quai Anatole, Paris
How would you describe your own style?
I keep trying to find my style but it’s very difficult. I hope I will never find it.
When did you first realize that you wanted to be an architect / designer?
For the birthday of my five years, when I got my first Playmobil castle.
Looking back at your first project what knowledge do you wish you had back then designing the interiors?
I don’t have any regret because all my mistakes teach me how to make progress.

Your monochromatic palette of black and white is amazing. How do you do all this?
Just by using the black and white, but I don’t invent anything.
You said: “Lighting has more importance than the interior itself”. What’s your one best piece of advice on lighting?
Don’t buy a place with a boring natural light.
How do you achieve a good scale? Scale is a really interesting and difficult topic.
I think all my work is on the contrast and the contrast in the scale is essential. I like to play with the perception of scale, using réflexion, shadow and light.
