Pierre Vandel was born in 1946 in Roubaix, France.

Around 1969, he met Pierre Cardin, a decisive turning point in Pierre Vandel's career, his work will now touch the whole world... It will be a worldwide success.
Under the advice of Pierre Cardin, Pierre Vandel created his own brand, Pierre Vandel - Paris.
He designed luxury furniture such as coffee tables, chairs, storage units and other objects made in the 1970s and 1980s. Pierre Vandel's pieces are characterised by smooth and polished designs made of black lacquer, aluminium, Lucite and glass.
