As a kid Jean-Louis Deniot have attended the Ecole Camondo as it is one of the most prestigious schools in the business. There he studied contemporary styles and concepts which enabled him to develop his analytic capacities and creative mind, but he rapidly felt that the program was too limiting. That is the reason why he started to work at the age of 21, managing renovations and undertaking apartment restorations. He was also passionate about art history and architecture, which led him, upon graduating, to open his own agency. The school provided him with solid credibility because of its untarnished reputation and his own work gave him the confidence he needed.
