Since founding their studio in 2010, they have become known for interiors that are at once sensual and deeply personal.
Their approach is rooted in a dialogue between structure and emotion. Hauvette & Madani combine clean, sculptural lines with a warm, tactile palette, incorporating noble materials such as marble, wood, bronze, and textured fabrics. This fusion of strength and softness allows them to create spaces that feel both powerful and inviting – an interplay that has become their hallmark.
The duo’s projects span private residences, showrooms, and commercial spaces, each infused with their unique balance of rigor and poetry. Their interiors evoke a sense of modern classicism: pared-back yet luxurious, restrained yet expressive. By mastering contrasts – light and shadow, raw and refined, minimal and opulent – Hauvette & Madani craft environments that are immersive and enduring.
Their work has attracted a discerning international clientele, as well as recognition from the design press and industry awards. What distinguishes Hauvette & Madani is not only their aesthetic but also their philosophy: to design interiors that reflect the individuality of each client, while imprinting their own unmistakable vision.
Their projects – whether a serene Geneva villa or the redesign of Paris’s Hotel Wallace – blend artisanal materials like marble, brass, lava stone, rich wood, and sumptuous textiles with sculptural forms. Their signature lies in seamlessly uniting historical references, 1970s sensuality, and 20th-century modernism through handcrafted furnishings by French and Italian master artisans. Recognized among AD France’s top 100, their work stands at the crossroads of timeless artistry and contemporary comfort.
Today, Hauvette & Madani continue to redefine contemporary French design, carrying forward a tradition of elegance infused with bold modernity. Through their projects, they embody a new generation of designers who celebrate both heritage and innovation, leaving a mark that is as timeless as it is forward-looking.
