Biography

Philippe Cheverny, born in Rouen in 1936, is a French designer active primarily in the 1960s and 1970s. His work encompasses furniture, lighting, and decorative objects, with a marked preference for Plexiglas, Altuglas, polished and gilded metals, and geometric forms. He works under his own name and collaborates with companies such as Charpentier and Design Kit. Many of his creations play with transparency, reflection, and the assembly of synthetic material panels.
