Joseph Dirand: a name that requires humble respect in all communities of design and architecture.
Parisian architect, Joseph Dirand, is the king of tactile, warm and liveable minimalism. Clean lines, pure forms embellished with luxurious materials and luscious neutral palettes characterise his work.
Son of the late Jacques Dirand, one of the most lauded interiors photographers of his generation, Joseph is expanding upon his family legacy, revealing a rarefied approach to space and material. From Beirut to Beijing his impressive retail and residential buildings create a sense of luxurious minimalism.
His home in the 7th arrondissement reveals a slightly softer side, a tactile feast for the senses mixing shapely, vintage pieces by Oscar Niemeyer and Ettore Sottsass with the more rigorous forms of Pierre Jeanneret, Jean Prouvé and Le Corbusier.
