Paf atelier is a Paris-based interior architecture and design studio specializing in the creation of tailor-made spaces that blend aesthetics, functionality, and innovation. Since founding the studio in 2017, Christopher Dessus has developed a multidisciplinary approach that combines architecture, design, and graphics to create unique and timeless spaces. Each project follows a responsible approach, integrating sustainable materials and artisanal craftsmanship. PAF operates across various sectors—private, cultural, and event-related—designing spaces and furniture where identity and functionality merge with precision and radicality.

Driven by experimentation, research in architecture and design, the scenographic and architectural design studio based in Paris. Since its creation in 2017, each research is measured between know-how, reflection and creation. Concerns constantly questioned by the founder Christopher Dessus, through works published by Pli éditions which he also directs. In order to best model a space while ensuring a singular identity, Paf atelier initiates great porosity between the various creative fields. A multidisciplinary approach vectoring numerous collaborations, where design and production cannot be considered separately. Ephemeral, these installations wish to tell a lasting story, both in the minds and in the innovation of these forms, in order to participate in the construction of a new scenographic landscape. A story informed by different notions taking into account territories, a responsible approach and the integration of new talents.
