Portrait
Fabrice Delaneau
A modern nomad, building bridges between cultures, between disciplines, between East and West.
Fabrice Delaneau has spent more than two decades building bridges between design, strategy, and the world.
Background
Over two decades, he has shaped the international development of some of the most distinguished names in luxury design and architecture: Roche Bobois, Lelièvre, Bolon, Taiping, and Liaigre. His approach is never merely strategic — it is rooted in a deep sensitivity to cultural narrative, a strong sense of place, and the ability to forge meaningful connections across design, architecture, art, and contemporary expression.
Current Mission
Today, Fabrice Delaneau serves as Strategic Development Advisor to Andrée Putman Studio, contributing to its global expansion and to the landmark centenary programme of 2025–2026, including the opening of a new showroom in New York. His work with the studio reflects the same qualities that have distinguished his entire career: an intelligence that is both analytical and aesthetic, and a rare gift for connecting institutional vision with the realities of international markets.
Selected Projects
His project history spans continents and disciplines — each project carrying the imprint of a practitioner who understands that great design is always, at its core, a conversation between people and places.

- Borusan Lighting Exhibition Istanbul · Thierry Dreyfus

Collaborations
His collaborations have brought him alongside leading figures of contemporary architecture and design. Most recently, he contributed strategic and curatorial support to the Andrée Putman Centenary Exhibition at MAD Paris — a fitting milestone for a career defined by the elevation of design as a cultural practice.
Philosophy
Fluent in French, English, and Mandarin, Fabrice Delaneau operates with ease across three linguistic and cultural worlds — a capacity that is not merely professional, but deeply personal. He embodies a rare form of cosmopolitanism: one shaped not by accumulation, but by genuine curiosity and lasting engagement with the places and people he encounters.
