Grant
- Description
- Designer Bio
Tristan Auer has designed a collection of poufs for Poltrona Frau which stand out for their nomadic, versatile and flexible elegance: the Grant seats are equally at home in public and residential settings, on their own or in bespoke combinations. The inspiration for the Grant collection comes from different sources: the ironic and slightly dandy style of Hollywood legend Cary and the military aplomb of heroic general Ulysses. There are also nods to equestrianism and the large luxury cars of the pre-war period. Grant encapsulates the pure masculine essence of a clean, understated and completely unostentatious elegance, evoking the nostalgia of a stylistic and existential golden age.

Tristan Auer |
An
interior and emotion architect, Tristan Auer designs beautifully sensual and
singular interiors. His extremely rich and aesthetic vision finds its finest
expression in vibrant col-our, lights and era mixes. From the Hôtel de Crillon
and the Bains-Douches in Paris, to the prestigious works in private houses in
London and New York, all the way to Moustique Is-land, he operates with the
style of a stage director, his client being both the main actor in his
screenplay and his accomplice in this on-going quest for elegance. As an
ambassador of a certain French “art de vivre”, Tristan Auer combines his very
modern vision with arts and crafts excellence to give a new definition of
contemporary luxury. Tristan Auer grew up in Aix-en-Provence. After graduating
at ESAG-Penninghen, he joined forces with the Christian Liaigre team, and then
Philippe Starck before he went on starting his own interior design firm in
Paris in 2002.
