As an interior designer, Chahan Minassian’s first concern is space. He will often redesign the interior spaces in a project to improve their circulation or to create the desired atmosphere. He uses his talent to create interior design projects full of harmony and with an appreciation of detail that lends his decors their signature «couture» effect.

Chahan Minassian

After studying interior design in Paris, he joined the prestigious firm of Ralph Lauren where he was the creavite director for Europe. In 1993, he created his own interior design agency, Chahan Interior Design, rapidly attracting commissions in the United States, Canada, Japan and Europe.

Take a look at some of these projects by this amazing interior designer!

New York Central Park

In this apartment with an incredible view over Central Park, Chahan Minassian designed and composed an interior that expresses the essence of his style: cream palette, textures, masterpieces and signed furniture collections.

Geneva Cityline

This apartment, opening onto the shores of Lake Geneva, offers an architectural setting in each of the rooms, playing with the effects of materials or trompe l’oeil works of art.

Sophisticated living room

The craftsmanship thus highlights contemporary works of art and artists’ furniture.

Fisher Island

The sea blends into the cream and turquoise palette of this Fisher Island apartment, where layers of textures and materials accentuate the architecture of the spaces. Serenity comes first.

Hôtel de Crillon

Palace nested in a listed historic building in the heart of Paris, the Hôtel de Crillon has seen its main spaces, redefined and designed by Chahan Minassian. It was awarded the 2018 Villégiature award for best hotel design and architecture in Europe, as well as best hotel bar in Europe.

Chahan Minassian is more than a mere designer, not that there’s anything mere about the job. Chahan is a collectionneur, a gallerist, a connoisseur of joie de vivre in the world of interior design. His work, as he says, is the pinnacle of his passion. The creativity of his ongoing work describes him better than any other words.

Change in management at Parmigiani Fleurier SA

Fleurier, 2021: The Board of Directors of Parmigiani Fleurier SA hereby announces the appointment of Guido Terreni as CEO. He is to replace Davide Traxler, who has decided to pursue professional opportunities outside the Group after two and a half years at the helm of the Company.
These changes will take effect immediately.

Mr. Traxler will also resign with immediate effect from the boards of directors of Parmigiani’s distribution companies, where he will also be replaced by Mr. Terreni.

“In the person of Guido Terreni, we have been able to secure a strategist and recognized expert who oversaw the repositioning of Bulgari Horlogerie as one of the leading global watch brands in the high-end segment. I am certain that Guido Terreni will take Parmigiani Fleurier to new heights”, according to Fritz Schiesser, Chairperson of the Sandoz Family Foundation.

Mr. Terreni made the following statement on his appointment: “I am honored and enthusiastic about being able to contribute to enhancing Parmigiani Fleurier’s reputation. It is a solid brand, capable of expressing the Swiss watchmaking heritage at the highest level, which has recently been included by UNESCO in its List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of humanity, whilst also attracting the interest of the most discerning connoisseurs”.

“When I joined Parmigiani in mid-2018, we focused on improving company profitability as well as optimizing the product range and structures. We have made major progress in this area. The next stage will be centered on long-term strategic brand realignment. This will also include the Company’s response to market changes brought about by COVID-19. This is the right time to place management of the Company in new hands”, according to Mr. Traxler. The Board of Directors would like to express its thanks to Davide Traxler for his efforts for the Company.

A native of Milan, Guido Terreni, aged 51, is of dual Swiss-Italian nationality and graduated in Economics at the Luigi Bocconi University in Milan. He has gained 25 years of professional experience both within an international company under family management and at major international groups. He started his career in 1995 at the Danone Group. In 2000 he moved to Switzerland, joining the Watchmaking Division at the Bulgari Group. He was appointed President of Bulgari Horlogerie in 2010, a position which he held for the following ten years. Driven by his vision for innovation, his sense of aesthetics and a strong desire to respect the integrity of traditional Swiss mechanical watchmaking, he has been able to assemble teams that have turned Bulgari into a fully-fledged premium watch brand. This result is confirmed by the 57 international watchmaking prizes and 6 world records in the area of ultra-thin movements.

VALÉRIE MESSIKA

Her motto: create new codes for the French Jewelry.
Her promise: to keep the diamond as a unique stone. Deal!

Valérie Messika, daughter of André Messika, a famous diamond dealer since 1972, discovered diamonds at a very young age.

In 2015, to celebrate the ten years of the brand, Valerie Messika launched a Haute Joaillerie atelier, to salute the French know-how that was born in the Parisian offices of the house.
From 2017 and 2018, Valérie Messika designed with Gigi Hadid two limited collections. First ‘Move Addiction’ for celebrating the 10th anniversary of the iconic Move. Then ‘My Soul’, more bohemian, which reflects the top model’s personnality.

In 2019, the designer Valérie Messika has chosen to cast three contemporary icons that break the codes of Parisian jewelry : Kate Moss, Joan Smalls and Sylvia Hoeks.
In 2020, Valérie Messika and Kate Moss co-design a High Jewelry collection together.
