About JEFF AIRD
Nature + Artisans = Formule Magique
Respect for Natural materials and for the know-how of Craftspeople is always at the heart of any Jeff Aird piece or project.
Jeff Aird began modelling installations of opulent woodwork by British icon Clive Christian in 2006; first in Dublin and then from a flagship showroom in Paris, leading to interior design projects of increasing scale and complexity in Saudi Arabia, USA, South Africa and all over Europe.
Tasked to create miniature wooden scale models and concept sketches of complete properties in Kyoto and Osaka for a famous Japanese family in 2013, Jeff opened a dedicated studio in Paris.
Bespoke stairways, porticos, intricate flooring, furniture, lighting made by outstanding artisans in Ireland, England, France, Italy have since been designed and shipped abroad by Jeff and his team, to be installed by the hardworking artisans who made them.
This combined responsibility of design and build, often in foreign places, has afforded Jeff Aird great experience in what works and what doesn’t:
Modern design grounded in traditional principles remains stylish for decades.
Natural materials and artisan finishes age gracefully, unlike trends and factory production.
Craftspeople - especially those who travel to projects away from home - are underappreciated artists.
The projects featured here are complete projects by Jeff Aird: conception and design of each element; demolition and construction; through to sourcing, installation and finishing.
