best designer of the generation, Christian Ghion built his career on a series of
fortunate meetings. After 5 years studying law, between 1976 and 1981 and a
change of direction towards the creation professions in 1982, he met the
architect Patrick Nadeau. Together, they founded their agency in 1987. Three
years later, they won the « Grand Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris ».
In the following years he met Andrée Putman, who became his godmother, the
editor Teruo Kurosaki, who introduced his furniture to Japan, and finally
Philippe Starck…In 1997, he collaborated with the Tarkett Sommer Company and
one year later, he set up his own design studio. From then on, alone, he
developed his activities and interested himself more and more in interior
architecture and events organization. He designed a contemporary boudoir for the
Chantal Thomass shop in rue Saint Honoré, the decoration of the Pierre Gagnaire
restaurants in Paris and in Tokyo and, more recently, the design of a glass
vases collection for Salviati and the gallery Cap Berro. The popularity of
Christian Ghion is influential enough to be exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum
in New York and at the “Fondation Cartier” in Paris. In addition, he was
honoured, in 2006, as a “Chevailer des Arts et des Lettres”. Two years
after, he designed his first pocket knife for FORGE DE LAGUIOLE which met a
great success. One year later, four knife ranges are created. His latest
creation for FORGE DE LAGUIOLE is like him, refined and masculine.
