Global design firm Wilson Associates has debuted Wilson Associates Atelier Tristan Auer, a new studio geared toward clients in search of high-level design concepts in Europe.
Located in Paris’ golden triangle area, the Atelier establishes a European presence for Wilson Associates under the direction of locally based designer Tristan Auer. The office itself was repurposed from a 19th-century private apartment built by French architect Paul Sédille. 


Inspired by haute couture’s tailor-made creations, the office will provide comprehensive design services for hospitality, retail, and residential projects.


“Our goal is to create a custom experience for our clients from the moment they walk into our Atelier,” says Auer. “From the way we receive clients to the deliverables we present, the end result will be unlike anything they’ve ever seen.”
Auer brings with him more than 20 years of experience, and has worked with designers Christian Liaigre and Philippe Starck. Also joining Wilson Associates with Auer are Marc Foschia and Neil Rawson, who have worked for Pierre-Yves Rochon, Andrée Putman, and Philippe Starck. 


Founded in 1971, Wilson Associates employs more than 400 design professionals across its nine internationally located offices, including its Dubai location launched in 2014.
