Jouin Manku

My main design philosophy is to break the boundaries of design creations, create a miracle, give the object a sense of touch, emphasize functionality, and create the power of avant-garde and traditional artisanal art.

Patrick Jouin in Paris is not only considered one of the most acclaimed designers in France, but also one of the most versatile designers. Patrick Jouin has made great achievements in architecture, interior design, industrial design, crafts, scenes and street furniture Big achievement It is estimated that Patrick Jouin meets every 350 meters on the streets of Paris and has contributed over 46,000 designs to the city of Paris.

They occupy a special place in the international design style, and his achievements have been included in permanent museum collections. 

Patrick Jouin was born on June 5, 1967 in the village of Mauves-sur-Loire in the state of Looe, in Nantes, France. His mother was a nurse and his father was a craftsman who made machine parts for a variety of machines. After graduating from National Tehran University of Technology in 1992, he first worked for Thomson Multimedia with Philippe Starck and then for five years at Philip Stark. In 1998, he founded his own design agency in Paris. Ducasse, his first client Michelin three-star chef, commented: "Patrick has a rare quality among creators and has a strong curiosity and an ultimate quest for detail." 

Another important figure in Jouin's career is Sanjit Manku, a Canadian-trained architect who is also his current career partner. Together they manage Jouin Manku Studio, and Jouin runs Patrick Jouin ID, an industrial design independent company. 

Sanjit Manku was born in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1971 and graduated from the Carleton University School of Architecture in 1995 in Ottawa, Canada. Having worked in North America for many times, Manku joined Jouin in 2001 and became a Patrick Jouin partner in 2006. 

Since 2006, Jouin Manku has signed a number of prestigious projects, known for their detail and their ability to manufacture and traditional crafts. Most of Jouin's works have a similar style, the lines are usually sensual. His pursuit of purity, full of unexpected atmosphere. ouin Manku Each project has 100% specific to its background and comprehensive design. Included are the boundaries of objects, rooms and structures. Their design includes not only interior architecture, but also every detail of the furniture, including the weight of the chair and the sewing of the cushions.

Patrick + Sanjit believes that every detail and unique experience created for this project is the most authentic form of unique design. Although each project is its own personal concept, it is their working method to combine the ideas of Patrick + Sanjit. Building an unprecedented paradigm thrives on design concepts and technological innovations.  

Patrick's design work combined with Sanjit's architectural background provides a wide range of experience. Technological challenges in technological innovation, technological experimentation, research and development of new materials, and expansion of application technologies not only make the work of the client a completely original but also advance the design possibilities. Their expertise lies in transforming what they imagine into reality, whether glass, wood veneer or stone.
