What Pierre Yves Rochon does

Pierre Yves Rochon (PYR) is a luxury interior architecture and design firm founded in Paris in 1979, specializing in high-end hospitality, ultra-high-net-worth residential, Michelin-starred gastronomy, and luxury retail interiors. The firm operates two integrated studios — its headquarters at 60 Rue de Monceau in Paris (8th arrondissement near Place Vendôme) and a regional studio in The Wrigley Building, Chicago — under Managing Directors Benoit Gelez and Amy Jakubowski, with Pierre-Yves Rochon as Founder and Global Design Director. PYR is a subsidiary of Perkins&Will, providing access to a 25-studio global architecture platform while operating as an autonomous luxury practice.

PYR's service offering spans the full interior lifecycle — concept development, schematic design, design development, FF&E specification and procurement, construction documentation, and construction administration — with FF&E program management as a signature capability (e.g., ~600 bespoke pieces specified for the Mohammed VI Tower across 32,000 m²). The firm has executed projects for Four Seasons (10+ properties), Ritz-Carlton, Waldorf Astoria, The Savoy, The Dorchester, Le Bristol, The Woodward Geneva, Peninsula, Shangri-La, and Sofitel; designed immersive restaurants for Joël Robuchon, Alain Ducasse, Paul Bocuse, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten; created flagship boutiques for Boucheron, Chopard, and De Beers; and delivered residential projects including Jade Signature Miami and Le Cap Hong Kong.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on project-based, enterprise-scale engagements acquired via direct field sales and reputation-driven referrals within luxury hospitality ownership groups. Pricing is quote-based and non-public, varying by project scope and complexity. Beyond services revenue, PYR has built a parallel product business through co-developed collections with Lalique (Perles chandelier, Coutard lantern, Vibrations chest), Giorgetti (Floria table, launched February 2025), Devon&Devon (The Thirties bathtub, My Love Water vanity), THG Paris (Faubourg and Perle faucets), Baccarat (Pétale de Cristal), and Charles Paris (Collectionneur lamp). Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise field sales; there are no reseller or self-serve channels. The firm markets primarily through earned media in Architectural Digest, Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, and The New York Times, supplemented by Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, plus trade-show presence at Salone del Mobile Milano and Maison&Objet Paris.
