PORTRAIT OF AN ICONOCLASTIC AND INCLASSABLE DESIGNER-ARTIST
INTERIOR DESIGN
Born in Rabat in 1955 from a happy blend of France and Morocco, Jonathan Amar is one of the first designers to export Moroccan craftsmanship abroad. His eclectic journey, stemming from both shores of the Mediterranean and enriched by his travels around the world, undoubtedly makes him one of the most unique designer-creators of his generation.
As a precursor to the Baroque New Age and Ethno-Chic movements, he creates spaces where exceptional décor is essential. Indeed, his talent lies in merging diverse - even disparate - elements into unprecedented aesthetic wholes. His distinctive style has spawned movements adopted by numerous artists and decorators, thanks to his ability to integrate projects of all kinds with a strong cultural awareness and mastery of lighting effects.
In 1985, at just 30 years old, Hubert Boukobza entrusted him with the artistic direction of the Bains Douches. This venue was a true institution of Parisian nightlife, a meeting place for the international social and artistic elite, ranking among the top ten most famous establishments worldwide. It was frequented by figures such as David Bowie, Coluche, Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop, Madonna, as well as international models and cinema legends. This melting pot made the Bains the most famous place on the planet. Read More
