Born in Paris into a wealthy family, Robert Thibier (1926-2001) studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and became an interior designer in 1951.

With offices located at the most beautiful addresses in Paris (Place de la Madeleine and Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré), he catered to a clientele of celebrities and socialites, including the Rothschild family, as well as athletes and industrialists.

An interior designer rather than a furniture designer, Thibier produced some pieces of furniture for his clients, with the intention of creating "modern antiques" that would complement other European antiques and convey a strong sense of opulence. To achieve this, he created geometric wrought iron furniture covered in a very subtle gold leaf. Some of his pieces were signed and numbered.

In the 1970s, Robert Thibier also collaborated with Maison Ramsay and created some of their most famous creations.

His grave in the Montparnasse Cemetery is a testament to his sense of style.
