ATELIER 27

What ATELIER 27 does

Atelier 27 is a Paris-based art consultancy and creative laboratory founded in 2013 by Florence Lipszyc. The firm provides end-to-end art curation, styling, and creative direction services for luxury hospitality and luxury-goods clients, with a stated focus on ensuring that each project's artistic narrative is rooted in historical research and local cultural context rather than treated as a decorative afterthought. Its eight core service lines — Art Concept, Global Art Direction, Brand Guideline, Local Sourcing, Bespoke Commission, Art Handling, Bespoke Artefact, and Staging — cover the full project lifecycle from conception through installation, delivered by a 15-person multidisciplinary team of project managers, art curators, historians, marketing managers and branding experts.

The company operates a project-based, professional-services business model with no publicly disclosed pricing and no technology platform; revenue is generated through bespoke engagements with enterprise clients, primarily luxury hotel brands and ownership groups. Atelier 27's go-to-market is direct enterprise sales, with the founder leveraging her network from Christie's Paris, the Marc Blondeau gallery, and her direction of artist Adel Abdessemed's production studio to secure engagements. The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no subsidiary structure, indicating it is bootstrapped and founder-led.

Its client base includes Rosewood Hotels, Raffles, Hotel de Paris Monaco, Dorchester Collection, The Luxury Collection (Marriott), Royal Atlantis, Cartier, Hotel Lutetia Paris, Orient Express, Hotel Cafe Royal London, and Claridge's Hotel, with active project delivery across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Brand visibility is sustained through recurring international press coverage in publications such as Architectural Digest USA, Air France Magazine, Elle Décoration, AD France, and Hotel Specification International, which functions as a primary low-cost customer-acquisition channel within the luxury hospitality market.

Direct peers

• Champalimaud Design: New York- and London-based luxury hospitality and residential interior design firm working with many of the same flagship hotel clients (Dorchester Collection, etc.). Comparable scale and luxury positioning with strong creative direction capability.
• Pierre-Yves Rochon: Paris-based interior design studio specializing in luxury hotels, palaces, and restaurants. Direct peer in the same boutique luxury hospitality design category with comparable clientele (including George V, Four Seasons) and similar French atelier positioning.
• Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA): Global leader in luxury hospitality interior design with hundreds of projects across the same hotel brands Atelier 27 serves (Raffles, Luxury Collection, etc.). Most directly comparable competitor for end-to-end luxury hotel design mandates, though significantly larger and broader in scope.
• Studio Sofield: New York-based luxury interior design studio with strong retail and hospitality credentials. Comparable creative laboratory positioning and engagement with luxury goods brands; competes for similar high-end commissions.
• Yabu Pushelberg: Toronto-based luxury design firm serving both hospitality and luxury retail (including hotels and high-end retail flagships). Strong overlap with Atelier 27's dual hospitality/retail client model and similar narrative-driven design approach.
• Richmond International: UK-based luxury hospitality interior design firm with extensive hotel portfolio. Direct competitor for European luxury hotel design mandates, often engaged on the same properties Atelier 27 supports with art curation.

Emerging players

• Cadogan Tate Fine Art Logistics: International fine art handling and transport specialist serving galleries, collectors, and luxury interior projects. Adjacent to Atelier 27's "Art Handling" service line; comparable in addressing the physical logistics of high-value artworks for luxury interiors.
• Collection Privée: Art consultancy specializing in art advisory for luxury hotels, residences, and corporate spaces. Direct peer in the boutique art-for-hospitality niche with overlapping service offerings (curation, commissioning, installation).

Broad incumbents

• Christie's Art Advisory: Major auction house with private sales and art advisory arm serving collectors and institutions. Founder Florence Lipszyc's background at Christie's gives this comparison particular relevance, though Christie's operates at vastly larger scale.
• Sotheby's Art Advisory: Global auction house with dedicated art advisory practice serving collectors and select institutional clients. Significantly larger and broader than Atelier 27 but addresses overlapping art curation demand from UHNW individuals and luxury hospitality-adjacent interiors.
