At the age of 29, Jean Royère left a comfortable position in import-export to launch himself as an interior designer.

In 1934, his new design of the Brasserie Carlton on the Champs-Élysées was an immediate success. It was the beginning of an international career that would last until the early 1970s.

A key figure in the avant-garde of the 1950s, Royère tackled all areas of decoration and opened branches in the Middle East and Latin America. His patrons included King Farouk, King Hussein of Jordan, and the Shah of Iran, who, seduced by his creative freedom and elegance, entrusted him with the design of their palaces.

Royère invented an original style combining bright colors, organic shapes, and precious materials, within a wide range of imaginative creations.

In 1980, he left France for the United States, where he lived until his death.
