With more than 20 years of experience in interior decoration and his innate passion for Japanese aesthetics, relationship to material objects and sense of empty space, Pierre Leloup specializes in minimalist and japanese design. Self-taught, he draws his inspiration from books and travels, and from his experience in visual arts (photography, painting and sculpture). His longtime passion for bonsaï also brought him in contact with numerous Japanese masters like Toru Suzuki, Shinji Suzuki, Mashiko Kimura, Ben Oki and John Naka, in the context of conferences, trainings and workshops.
