CEOAndrée Putman Studio

Aurélie Laure discovered the world of Andrée Putman in 2012. Returning to France after experiences between New York and San Francisco, she joined the studio as an intern under Olivia Putman; a pivotal moment that led her to later become the studio’s commercial director, overseeing international development.

After several years devoted to the restoration of Parisian hotels and exceptional heritage sites, Aurélie continued her path in high-end renovation before returning to the studio in 2025. By acquiring the studio, she transforms her return into a bold gesture: extending the work and spirit of Andrée Putman, whose modernity continues to inspire.

“Taking over this studio means engaging with a legacy that is both rigorous and deeply alive. Our ambition is to continue its story and open it toward new horizons,” says Aurélie.
