GILBERT CREATIONS

Gilbert Creations

Ebéniste Sculpteur

Gilbert Tchavouchian was born on April 24, 1969 in Yerevan, USSR to a family of French decent. From an early age, Gilbert developed a passion and admiration for furniture design and the art of sculpture. At 14, he began to design his first original furniture.

In 1986, Gilbert moved to Moscow to explore his passion which developed into his lifetime career. While in Russia, he became interested in the design and artisan work of local furniture craftsman, designers and ébénistes (cabinetmakers).

In 1986-1991, he studied at Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov (The Surikov Art Institute in Moscow) and graduated as an interior architect, sculptor and cabinetmaker. In 1993, Gilbert settled in Lyon, France with his family, where he resides to this day. Before founding his own furniture business and brand “Gilbert Creations” in 2000, he worked for French antique furniture restoration company Jacques Druardand, as well as ULAAT “Paque,” a project against illiteracy. Self-described as a traditional European designer of wood furniture, Gilbert has continually researched and followed global trends. He is dedicated to the creation of unique, bespoke furniture and storage items, that he designs with his signature artistry, with every detail made to perfection. Since 2000, Gilbert Creation’s furniture orders have grown quickly from small local contracts to large commissions.
