Designer Biography

Jean Royère

19291981

Supported by an increasingly international clientele, Royère expanded internationally after World War II. Royère was already a famous interior designer in France in the 1940’s when he met Nadim Madjalani, a Lebanese architect.

He opened an office in Cairo, Egypt in 1946, quickly followed by one in Beirut, in association with Majdalani.

During the course of Royère frequent visits to Lebanon, a profound friendship between the two men naturally evolved, and Majdalani responded by being able to introduce numerous prospective clients; together they completed several successful projects like the Beirut luxury hotels "Le Capitole" or "St George".

With the construction in 1955 of Majdalani "L’atelier" gallery on Avenue Sleiman-Boustani, Royère now had a vitrine through which he could continually exhibit his new design, until his retirement in the mid 1960’s.
