Under the direction of Ren\u00e9 Gabriel, emblematic figure of the aesthetics of reconstruction and spiritual father of a new generation of interior designers, he became major of his promotion ahead of Pierre Guariche to immediately join the agency of his master. But the untimely death of the latter pushed him to found his own agency in 1952 with his wife Jacqueline Iribe, creator of fabrics and specialist in color, with which he will work all his life.<\/div><style>.porto-u-55ca8359258f9a412be7e73af65d2aac.porto-u-heading{text-align:center}<\/style><\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5411&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_circle&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<div class=\"to-pull-quote left to-pull-quote-border\" style=\"width:40%;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALAIN RICHARD<br \/>\n<\/strong>1926-2017<\/p>\n<p><\/div>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Since then, he has had an exceptional career creating Groupe 4 for Charron, one of the most influential of his time, taking part in major French and international exhibitions and collecting for example the successes of editions for TV mobilier or for the Pierre Disderot Workshops.Public orders flow, including for the National Furniture of which he is one of the most requested contributors, for embassies or for the train.
