EVIDENS STUDIO

What EVIDENS STUDIO does

Studio Evidens is a Paris-based architecture and interior design studio founded in 2025 by architect DPLG Nicolas Cardon and interior architect Marie Rougier. The studio operates on a human scale of approximately 15 expert collaborators and delivers commissioned design services — from concept development through project management and art direction — across four primary verticals: luxury hospitality (hotels, restaurants, boutique resorts), private residences (villas, apartments), yachting interiors, and commercial/retail spaces (fitness clubs, automobile showrooms, restaurants, grocery). The value proposition is the integration of architectural and interior design expertise within a single firm, allowing clients to engage one entity for both technical building design and high-end interior execution.

The studio's commercial activity spans three service pillars plus a product line. The architecture pillar addresses retail, fitness, restaurant, and automobile-concession projects; the interior design pillar covers private and hospitality interiors; and the Editions pillar comprises co-branded furniture and lighting collections (CAMELIA with Collinet, OCTANT with Pouenat, HORUS with Art & Floritude). Revenue is generated through project-based commissions quoted against scope and complexity, supplemented by productized design IP through artisan partnerships. Geographic execution already extends across France, Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, Switzerland, La Reunion, Monaco, and New York, despite the Paris-only headquarters.

Studio Evidens is a privately held partnership with no external investment, parent company, or subsidiaries disclosed. Distribution is sales-led via direct client engagement, professional referrals, and portfolio-driven inbound inquiries through studioevidens.com; press coverage (Signatures Singulières, Tendances & Art de Vivre) supports brand visibility in the luxury design sector. No technology platform, API, or AI capabilities are part of the offering — the firm competes on creative judgment, artisan networks, and senior-led project execution rather than software or automation.
