Studio Catoir

Studio Catoir is a Paris-based interior design and furniture practice founded in 2006 by Elisa Catoir, an interior designer, and Michael Catoir, a product designer. The studio works between interiors, custom furniture and limited editions, with projects ranging from hotels and penthouses in France, Italy and the UK to its own collection of seating, tables, mirrors and lighting.

Elisa studied interior design at ESAG-Penninghen and worked at Studios Architecture and Matteo Thun & Partners, where Michael headed the interior design and styling department; he trained as a carpenter and graduated in industrial design from the Folkwang University of the Arts. Craft is central to the studio’s approach, visible in marquetry, lacquer and metalwork, and its work has been recognised by Le French Design 100 and shown at Art Paris.
