A story, a style, a tailor-made approach
It was in Megève, an icon of the art of living in the mountains, that REFUGE settled almost ten years ago with the desire to create a new vision of interior design.
Our contemporary and warm style combines meticulous elegance and originality. We are driven by a deep desire to create timeless places that are like you and where you and your loved ones will love gathering together.
We favour natural materials and soft colors. We particularly like to play with new textures, subtly mixing reflections and matt finishes for a perfect result. At the heart of the process is the selection of the finest wood types and shades that we combine with wallpapers, paints or incredibly soft fabrics.
Whilst our philosophy has its roots in the mountains, we nevertheless exercise the same enthusiasm for our projects by the sea, in the countryside or in the cities. Everywhere we compose with great care real bubbles of ‘Art de Vivre.’
Our work revolves around a canvas that we develop with you by discussing you and your loved-one’s lifestyle and by decrypting your tastes and taking the time to acquire a sense of the place, the light and the space. On this canvas, we develop your project “d’art-de-vivre”, draw sketches, research noble materials, play with colors and select classic or vintage design pieces. Passionate about beauty and affiliated with the biggest brands and the best craftsmen, we compose with finesse and sensitivity a uniquely tailor-made result realizing everything from plans… to the teaspoon on your plate should that be part of our mission!

are forging the new REFUGE
Passionate about travel and the ‘art de vivre’, Vincent Jeanniard and Sergio Osorio discovered the Megève region and fell in love with the charm and energy of this iconic place.
After many years spent in France, England, Brazil, Japan and Germany, the duo decided to join forces to buy REFUGE, a real gem in the field of high-end interior design for second homes.
Vincent’s experience comes from the world of international luxury where he oversaw prestigious brands (L’Oréal Luxe, Lancôme, Dior, Burberry). Sergio is an architect graduate from a major university in Brazil and has carried out significant projects for private residences and hotels. Extremely complementary, they are inspired by/draw on encounters and international artistic projects in the hotel, decoration and fashion fields. They are the defenders of a certain art of living and contemporary aesthetics.
Together, they share the same vision and combine their positive energies around their partners and their international customers who trust their lifestyle, their standards and their taste for beauty.
