DESIGNERS

UBERT DE MALHERBE

Founder and Creative Director at Malherbe Paris. Hubert de Malherbe built up Malherbe Paris in 1993.

This independent creative agency first focus was on retail design and architecture with a large scope of expertise ranging from the luxury and fashion worlds to hotels, airports and malls.

In the late 2000s, the booming agency opens up two more offices, in Shanghai and Hong-Kong, launching a worldwide acclaimed success.

Malherbe Paris designs have expanded to an even greater variety of projects : from architecture, furniture, aeronautics, wine & spirits to a deep passion for environmental stakes.

With about 180 employees, the start-up spirit is still intact. Malherbe Paris has learnt how to keep all its skilled fanciful creativity. A requiring, ultramodern aesthetics mixing up a legendary intuition with the French elegance, rooting -some say- in prehistoric times.

PAOLO CASTELLI

Inclined towards design by his cultural background and natural passion, Paolo Castelli began designing successful products for his family’s company – Domodinamica – which he joined first in a management role and later took over as Paolo Castelli SPA. His love for design combined with an entrepreneurial vision of the entire product cycle, allow Paolo Castelli to conceive collections and pieces where the creative side is always accompanied by a concrete approach aimed at finding the best technical and aesthetic solutions.
