The Besson family has worked in home design and interior decoration for the past three generations. Self-taught Philippe “trusts his feeling” and sees himself as “close to the way people live”. He admits to sticking as closely as possible to the needs and desires of his clients, occasionally going as far as to combine different genres. After “the glorious years with the fortunes of Middle Eastern countries”, he now works in Switzerland, Paris, and between Cannes and Monaco. “I advocate a new kind of ethic, leaning towards a global and synchronised concept, between the architect with a state diploma and the interior decorator. Building a house based on these two principles means that one can address a project from a more rational point of view.” 06 10 84 80 77.
