Jean-Marie Massaud joins Environment as Creative Director

Environment Inc., the leader in sustainable home design, proudly announced a new partnership with world renowned designer, Jean-Marie Massaud in December 2009. As the company’s new Creative Director, Massaud is designing signature pieces and playing an integral role in the future development of the brand.

Beyond his creative talent and unparalleled design aesthetic, Environment CEO, Davide Berruto tapped Massaud based on a shared vision of sustainability as an investment in better life surroundings, merging social responsibility and awareness with elegant functionality and easy-living.

“I share Massaud’s belief that the role of a designer is not to design objects but to propose life-enhancing strategies,” said Berruto “this principle will make our partnership truly synchronistic and help take the Environment brand beyond home design to help develop more conscientious living on a much larger scale.”

“Sustainability is an investment in quality, competence and timelessness for better life surroundings,” Massaud noted, “I am thrilled to be working with a brand that has built its name on just such a philosophy.”

Massaud’s first designs for Environment will launch in Spring 2010 and will be available at all Environment showrooms.
