Pierre Augustin Rose was spearheaded by the innovative trio of Pierre Bénard, Augustin Deleuze, and Nina Rose. Their passion for unique spaces and expertise in 20th-century art and design heavily influenced their creative direction, allowing them to reimagine classic design styles with a modern twist. They strived to establish a distinctive style that blended timeless modernity with audacious elements, as articulated by Pierre Bénard.

The residency at St. Vincents diverged from traditional showroom norms, presenting Pierre Augustin Rose’s luxurious Parisian collection in a distinctive setting. Co-founder Geraldine Jackman highlighted the unique backdrop that enhanced the elegance of the displayed pieces.
