Joseph Dirand is a very sensitive and visionary interior designer. He has an exceptional scenographer’s eye and a profound perspective of the smallest details. This french interior designer was honored in 2019 AD100 top talent in architecture and design, with the reference to his most recent restaurant plan, Girafe. Today we will present you his “french touch” through his best dining room decor ideas.
Architectural Digest defends that Joseph Dirand tells stories through his scenographic interiors. In fact, he has an exceptional perspective of a place. He is sensitive to the structure, to the effect of light and colours everywhere. The reference of Girafe is a perfect example of his style. The minimalist interior design, characterised by the contrast between marble table tops and glass and round dining tables, creates a warmth and romantic atmosphere.
In addition to the modern dining tables, which represent simultaneously the simplicity and the sophistication of this place, this exceptional restaurant has also an astonishing terrace with a direct view to Torre Eiffel.

Another perfect example of Joseph Dirand’s dining room decor ideas is Loulou. This place truly celebrates the french expression “art de vivre”. Located in decorative arts museum, this permanent contrast between marron, dark blue and the subtil white is definitely elegant. The luxury dining set is one of the smallest details that really have an impact in the atmosphere.
Inspired by Art Déco, Yves Klein’s work and the minimalist interior design style of Adolf Loos, Joseph Dirand also decorated Monsieur Bleu in Tokyo Palace. This is a must visit place to experience the Parisian lifestyle.
The use of marbles, the rectilinear chandeliers, the dark woods, brass and plush upholstery in mustard yellows truly represent the richness of materials used by this interior designer in the most part of his projects.
Each place decorated by Joseph Dirand tells a real story. The story of the place recreated by his own dining room decor ideas.
