A DESIGNER PIERRE CAMIN
An artist. Pierre Camin
He has passed through the Ecole Boulle, the Decorative Arts. He practiced the most advanced techniques, escaped from them, while being inspired by the successive universes he frequented.
First in jewelry, after leaving Boulle, he designed with Gerard Sandoz jewelry and precious objects at a time when we mixed, in geometric forms, yellow gold with white gold, enamel, onyx, jade. Jewelry and precious objects are a work of rigor and refined finishing.
This creative spirit Pierre Camin carried with him to Coty, where, as the last student of the great François Coty, he tackled for the first time the work of perfumery, crystal and glass; it was the time of cut or engraved crystal bottles, matte or shiny with worked caps.
From time to time, Pierre Camin escaped to other proportions, which opened other horizons, he decorated a cinema, a bar in Normandy, furniture, these famous furniture where all kinds of wood, veneers
This research will always serve him.
A talented man with multiple facets, it is the world of perfume that fascinates him, glass is his passion, and here he is working for Lentheric, for Marcus in the United States, also for Canada.
He created the beauty line of Stendhal, and many others, the beautiful bottles "Pointes de Diamants" of Roger & Gallet.
He works for Federal Germany, Yunger and Gebhardt, for West Berlin. Seduced by the fantasy of Mrs. Schiaparelli, he pays tribute to her with the "S" line with the famous slanted bottle and its box with relief decoration.
It is also the Greek line of Jean Dessès. For Pierre Camin, perfume is a refinement that already begins with the eye; the bottle is not the simple case of this precious liquid, it must be closely associated in its search for refinement and beauty, it is the very current bottle, world famous of the "Eau Sauvage" by Dior.
Pierre Camin's classical training has allowed him to assemble new fashions and techniques. All his creations are registered, as are the manuscripts, songs, etc. that give us pleasure. Over the years, constantly renewing himself, he has created beautiful forms that defy time. And tomorrow, for Pierre Camin, it is still working, questioning himself each time, finally finding this wonderful balance between the perfume and its presentation, by creating forms that make the fragrance live.
