France Bittel and Olivier Chanard
France Bittel, an interior architect, and Olivier Chanard, a project director, created the agency "Bleu Gris" in 2014. Ever since, France and Olivier have helped businesses and private clients to create modern and creative interior design. More than just experienced interior designers, they are experienced creators, considering decoration and architecture as real vectors of emotion. Forever unique, France and Olivier’s projects are not rooted in one style but rather are the realisation of a clear vision with the client. Listening to each client, they translate words into reality and create original and timeless projects. With the South of France as their favourite playground, they carry out their projects in the Cote d’Azur’s most beautiful towns as well as in Corsica. It all began in Nice, and the city is where you can find their most emblematic projects; the Galia restaurant, with its pastel shades and retro spirit; Da Giulia, an Italian trattoria with mineral details and organic decoration; and Z, a tapas restaurant decorated in the vibrant colours of the Mediterranean. Working with leading design houses, such as Tom Dixon or Moooi, France Bittel and Olivier Chanard collaborate with local craftsmen in the design and production of custom-made pieces. As such, each location is sublimated with unique and personalised pieces, designed with the image of the place at hand.
