In the ever-changing world of architecture, few firms in the country have garnered _eyeballs as quickly as Ultraconfidentiel, started by a French couple, Amaury Watine and Stéphanie Bonduelle and taken to the next level by its CEO, Pierre-Arnaud Cassin. The attention could be partly because they are headquartered in Delhi, partly because they focus on flagship projects and their work has an international flair or because they are dedicated to giving each space a unique appeal. Whatever the reason, one thing is certain that when the couple came to India for an adventure and to work on this entrepreneurial project, it changed the Indian design-scape.
When it was time for the duo to return to France they left the studio in the hands of Cassin (its CEO and managing director), who joined the adventure in 2012. In 2016, Thibault Bonduelle was appointed as general manager and then Andrea Andreotti came on board as its chief design officer in 2019.
Ultraconfidentiel, the interiors, architecture and products design firm was launched in 2008. Now 16 years later it has branches in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Singapore.
