Best Interior Designers in France | Studio KO – The Duo Behind Studio KO founders is Karl Fournier and Olivier Mart. The two men met and fell in love while studying at the École des Beaux‑Arts in Paris, launching Studio KO shortly thereafter. Their shared aesthetic values, they discovered, allowed them to play well together. Marty is the draftsman, Fournier is the dreamer. “Olivier has a tendency to add things, and I follow behind him and subtract,” says Fournier, pressed to make a distinction. But everything they do, he adds, ends up as a “musical score for piano for four hands.”
Impressive and Out of Space Design Projects
Following in the footsteps of Yves Saint Laurent, the architecture duo Studio KO conjures a temple to the fashion designer’s legacy in his cherished Marrakech. This offers an idea of how Studio KO works—each project bears the imprint of its circumstances so that the family resemblance isn’t always immediately clear from one design to another. “We always try to adapt a project to its place,” says Fournier, noting that if there’s a common thread, it’s that natural light becomes a kind of intangible building block. “Imperfection is part of the process. It’s our language, but you can only recognize it if you can feel it.”
