Pierre Yovanovitch was honored with the prestigious EDIDA 2025 (ELLE Decoration International Design Awards) “Interior Designer of the Year” award. This distinction, awarded by the 25 editors-in-chief of the various international editions of ELLE Decoration, was presented at a ceremony in Milan during Salone del Mobile and is one of the most coveted honors in our field, as well as one of the main highlights of Milan Design Week.

Premiering on March 20, 2025, at the Korea National Opera, designer Pierre Yovanovitch has created the set design and costumes for the opera house’s production of Le Nozze di Figaro. A longtime opera enthusiast, Yovanovitch first ventured into operatic design with Theater Basel’s Rigoletto in 2023. This latest project, a collaboration with acclaimed director Vincent Huguet, represents a milestone in his career, combining his passion for storytelling with innovative stagecraft and, for the first time, costume design. 

Pierre Yovanovitch Mobilier is delighted to announce the unveiling of “Gloria,” a one-of-a-kind chair created in honor of feminist activist Gloria Steinem and her enduring legacy. This unique piece, which debuts this week with the completion of the interior renovation led by designer Jane Hallworth, now resides in Ms. Steinem’s historic Manhattan brownstone. Designed and donated in-kind by Pierre Yovanovitch to the Gloria Steinem Foundation, the chair is a tribute to Steinem’s strength and timeless influence. Featuring intricate embroidery by the renowned Maison Lesage Paris, a solid oak structure, and meticulously crafted walnut feet. Its whimsical elements include a special nod to Ms. Steinem’s iconic aviator glasses, symbolizing her identity and influence.

Drawing on a decade-long friendship and creative partnership, Pierre Yovanovitch called on designer Christian Louboutin to collaborate on a collection of chairs inspired by female icons. The collection, which is a joint creative undertaking between the two designers, incorporates the work of a selection of best-in-class, historic French artisans to meticulously craft each piece. There are nine limited edition works which are inspired by strong female characters and allegories, from Nefertari and Metropolissa to Dita (von Teese). As a nod to Christian Louboutin’s renowned Nudes shoe collection, the collaboration also features an open edition “Simply Nude” series of five female-inspired silhouettes. The result is an imaginative ode to feminine beauty as told through French craftsmanship.

Championed by the late Märta Måås-Fjetterström, röllakan is a traditional Scandinavian approach to flat-weaving characterized by interlocking colored patterns and tightly woven weft. As a collector of vintage Nordic furniture, particularly pieces from the Swedish Grace movement, Pierre Yovanovitch’s passion extends to early 20th-century Swedish textiles created using the röllakan technique. Now, with this collection of 15 one-of-a-kind chairs, he brings this textile movement further to light by combining it with his furniture design. The result is an ode to vintage Swedish design as told through French craftsmanship. On view at our Paris Gallery from September 4th – October 5th.

Debuting on 14 March 2024, Pierre Yovanovitch unveils an immersive installation featuring a curated selection of Pierre Yovanovitch Mobilier pieces at CRITERIA gallery. This is the designer’s inaugural showcase in Australia, bringing his unique furniture designs to light for the first time in this market.
