Dorothée Boissier is co-artistic director of the Gilles & BoISSier agency. She founded the agency with her husband, Patrick, 20 years ago.

The opening of the Baccarat Hotel in New York was a turning point for the company. The agency is present in Great Britain, in the United States, Dubai, and France. Our watchword: think far and different. It's my obsession, the word that keeps me alive, is the path of philosophy, says Dorothée. She says: "We should be able to be satisfied with a little beauty – to choose an object and say: it is enough for me" It is the opposite of the superficial accumulation of superficial, superficial, accumulation of beauty – she says. She adds: "I welcome complications, and I tell myself that there are always solutions. I do not see them. This is my temperament: I welcome complications" For more information, visit www.boissier.com.
