Maxime d'Angeac has been appointed Artistic Director Orient Express at Accor
Architect, graduated of Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Maxime is a member of French Architect order. Maxime went through professional education, during which he was a roadie then stage manager on French gigs. He was then joined Hilton McConnico with whom he imagined and collaborated on the scenography of numerous Hermès exhibitions in Paris, the new Lanvin concept, or the « Le Tout Paris » restaurant on the roof of the Samaritaine. In 1992, Maxime got his Architecture degree and founded his own agency. Following these events, the workload started getting heavy - he indeed succeeded in managing both his scenography works (Comité Colbert, Manuel Canovas), architectural projects for luxury companies (Guerlain, Sonya Rykiel, Junko Shimada), technically complex projects such as his works in the American Hospital of Paris. In addition, Maxime constantly works with a more discrete and demanding customer base on sophisticated, modern projects. Since 2021 he designs new Orient Express train and the future boat Orient Express Silenseas. Maxime's thorough approach consists in a perfect hand-drawn blueprint and precise detail that he perfects with an extremely precise thought process on light. In his works, he deliberately carries the complete weight of creation, from the first sketches to the ornamentation of the finalized work. In January 2024, he is appointed Artistic Director Orient Express.
