Biography:
An architect, designer and interior decorator, Mahdavi's style is cosmopolitan, influenced by cinema as much as by design and art. She sees interior architecture as a veritable decorative recreation, a three-dimensional tale that blends eras and styles, adding humour and fantasy.
India Mahdavi was born on 4 April 1962 in Tehran, Iran. A Frenchwoman of Iranian-Egyptian origin, she was born to an Egyptian mother and an Iranian father, and spent her childhood between Cambridge (Massachusetts), Heidelberg (Germany), Vence and Paris.
With degrees in architecture (DPLG), industrial design (Cooper Union, New York), graphic design (School of Visual Arts, New York) and furniture (Parsons The New School for Design, New York), she began her professional career with decorator Christian Liaigre, becoming his artistic director from 1990 to 1997.
Since the start of her career in the 1990s, her interior design projects have developed a style associated with a certain vision of happiness and colour, which she has played a major role in reviving. She has worked with Maja Hoffmann, the Beaumarly group, Valentino, Ladurée, the Société des Bains de Mer de Monaco, Petite Friture, as well as Alber Elbaz and Adel Abdessemed. She has designed private residences all over the world (Paris, London, New York, Siwa [Egypt], Sydney), as well as hotels, restaurants and boutiques. Her objects, starting with the Bishops, are icons of contemporary decorative art.
In 1999, she opened her own design studio on rue Las-Cases in Paris.
In 2003, she launched her first furniture collection (chairs, coffee tables, armchairs, etc.) and opened her showroom at 3 rue Las-Cases.
In 2012, she opened her boutique at 19, rue Las-Cases, a place designed to promote a range of artisanal skills and ancestral techniques as much as a signature colour chart.
