After studying at the \u00c9cole Boulle and later the \u00c9cole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure des Arts D\u00e9coratifs, he opened his own studio in 1957, devoting as much attention to challenges in interior design as he did to questions of industrial design.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Fermigier also launched the Meubles et Fonction gallery in partnership with Pierre Perrigault in 1959, running its interior design studio, producing some of his own designs and distributing other of his models edited by the biggest brands of the time. <\/p>\n
