Aline Asmar d’Amman
Architect & Founder - Culture in Architecture Studio
Aline Asmar d’Amman is an architect and interior design and founder of the Culture in Architecture studio based in Paris and Beirut, practicing a holistic vision of interior design with the absolute belief that beauty, which sparks emotions, contributes to the “poetic soul of the world”. Her projects have included the artistic direction of the renovation of the Hôtel de Crillon, the interior design of the signature suites of this palace hotel and the decor of its historic salons, as well as a collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld on the “Grand Apartments” which he designed. Pursuing her creative dialogue with this designer, Aline Asmar d’Amman carried out the studies and development of the “Architectures” series, functional sculptures in the finest marble crafted by the designer and shown at the Carpenters Workshop Gallery. Aline Asmar d’Amman is currently working on the renovation of the Jules Verne, the iconic venue on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower, with the Sodexo group and Michelin-starred chef Frédéric Anton. Its interior design pays tribute to the capital French chich and decorative arts and to the irreverence of the great iron lady, forging a strong link between Paris and gastronomy, up high in the clouds. Aline Asmar d’Amman will soon turn her attention to the interior design and art curation of the Palazzo Donà Giovannelli in Venice, on behalf of the Barletta group and Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. Furthermore, the Culture in Architecture studio remains involved in other projects in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and throughout the world.
