RMGB
The RMGB agency, located in the Sentier
neighborhood in Paris, was created
after Baptiste Rischmann accepted an
internship at the contemporary furniture
showroom, FR66, on Rue de Renard
in Paris, where Guillaume Gibert was
working at the time.
Prior to this encounter, both had
followed different paths: Guillaume,
originally from Marseille, studied
cabinetry before studying at LISAA
in Paris, a school for interior design
and design. Baptiste, originally from
Toulouse, graduated from ENSAD in
Paris with a science degree, far from that
of applied arts.
From this partnership they began to
confront their common interests and
inspirations for design and architecture
discovering the works of the masters:
looking to designers Jasper Morrison,
Achille Castiglioni, Stefan Diez,
and the Bourroullec brothers, and
architects John Pawson, Sanaa, François
Champsaur, and Studio KO. Through
these inspiring mentors, they developed
a real sense for detail which is evident in
all of their projects thus far.
“Anything that can spark interest before
our eyes is the source of an idea. This is
often lies in the details: a well thought
out ensemble, a unique material,
whether in architecture, fashion or even
a plate in a restaurant...”
Their first big project was the renovation
of the old JOB cigarette rolling paper
factory into a loft on Rue d’Hautpoul
in Paris. What soon followed were
new projects in Paris and surrounding
provinces. RMGB’s creative philosophy
holds craftsmanship in the highest
regard creating interior spaces
that combine different materials
by playing with their appearance,
color, texture, focusing on elements
that evoke emotion. One of RMGB’s
main initiatives is to introduce and
integrate craftsmanship within globally
contemporary works, whether in private
homes or future public projects.
"Architecture has something unique
and static, while design can multiply and
evolve.”
RMGB’s signature style is refined, sharp
and contemporary which reigns through
every project.
The agency is currently working on
several private projects , the showroom
of a furniture dealer along with a series
of pieces for the Great Design Gallery
that were presented at the furniture fair
in Milan this past April 2015.
