Trained between Nice and Marseille, France Bittel has cultivated an instinctive taste for places, materials and volumes since childhood. At the head of the Bleu Gris architecture agency, she signs bright, vibrant and embodied projects, between architectural rigor and solar design.
Born in Nice into a family of builders and seamstresses, France Bittel grew up on construction sites and between fabrics. A graduate in space design from the École d'architecture de Luminy, she founded Bleu Gris in 2014, in tribute to the Mediterranean and pebbles, and infuses it with the pure lines of her inspiring masters: Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe.
Her style? Brutalism and modernism for houses, she likes pure lines, dialogues with the existing, exuberance and emotion for restaurants. Among the dozens of establishments she signs, we can count “Circé” in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, maximalist and colorful, “La bambola” in Cannes, an ode to the golden age of the Riviera, the modernist gallery of the artist “Fred Allard” in Nice, or even “Coholita” in Nice, a fusion between Colombia and Italy. For “La Madone” by the luxury home rental group “Amavia” in Villefranche-sur-Mer, she revisits a villa created by Jean-Michel Wilmotte and the master of minimalism Axel Vervoordt with talent. France Bittel defends a tailor-made approach to furniture, which she designs in Cobalt, her showroom-workshop: vintage pieces found, homemade prototypes, and creations by favorite designers such as Moooi, Mogg, Acerbis, Acerbis, Maison Drucker or Azur Confort.
Showroom: Cobalt, 19 rue de la Liberté, Nice
