This is an important year for the renowned architect and designer Thierry Despont. In the coming months, he will complete the anticipated renovations of The Colonne Vendôme in Paris, The Ritz Paris, The Woolworth Tower Residences, 53W53, and The Cartier Mansion on Fifth Avenue.
Over the course of his career, Despont has attracted exclusive projects and A-list clients — Bill and Melinda Gates, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren — that reflect his cultural versatility and vast imagination. “They come to me because they know I will give shape to their dreams,” he recently toldVanity Fair magazine.
Join Despont as he talks about the passions that have shaped his work and art, from his sculptures of imaginary insects to his fascination with the moon.
