Two important recent appointments bear witness to the new dynamism that Jean Nouvel and François Fontès, the President of Ateliers Jean Nouvel (AJN), intend to inject into Jean Nouvel’s two main activities: architecture and design.
Jules Nyssen, the founding director of Anakena Conseil, a law firm specialising in strategic advice, was named Chief Executive Officer of AJN.

Franck Argentin, Company Manager of the firm RBC, a contemporary furniture distributor, was named Managing Director of Jean Nouvel Design (JND).

Both men stepped into their roles on 4 January 2016.
These appointments are certain to reinforce the synergies between the two organisations and to ensure their evolution on the French and international stage.
