Born in 1945, Étienne Robial is one of those people who seem to have lived several lives in one: by turns art director, bookseller, publisher…
Also a seasoned collector, Étienne Robial’s home is overflowing with objects unearthed here and there, of various eras, forms and uses, echoing his many graphic and editorial adventures. Through his practice, he has considerably advanced the field of graphic design and the visual arts in France, establishing a cross-disciplinary approach in which geometry, concerns for legibility and balance form the backbone.
