Eric Carlson (born 1963) is an American architect whose practice, Carbondale, is located in Paris, France. He is most recognized for his design, both interior and exterior, of the Louis Vuitton store located on the Champs-Élysées, Paris's 7th most visited destination.[1]

Life and career

Carlson was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan.[citation needed] After receiving his diploma in architecture he moved to San Francisco to work with architects in America's "New Urbanism" movement. His architectural expertise was further refined upon his arrival to Europe,[2] participating as a guest lecturer/critic at DSG[clarification needed] Harvard University, the University of California, Tulane University and the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London.[3] In 1997, Carlson co-founded the Louis Vuitton Architecture Department, establishing his own firm, Carbondale, in 2004, joined by Pierre Tortrat in 2006 and Pierre Marescaux in 2015.

A wide variety of projects designed by Carbondale, ranging from urban design, building architectural to interior architecture and furniture design, within settings throughout Europe, the Americas, Asia and Oceania. The office is said to be the first to bring architecture to luxury brands, notably with designs for the prominent Louis Vuitton building on the Champs Elysées in Paris, as well as boutiques for Dolce & Gabbana, Celine, TAG Heuer, Longchamp, H.Stern, Tiffany & Co. and Paspaley pearls. Recent creations include the Galaria Canalejas Interior in Madrid, the Dolce & Gabbana Palazzo Torres in Venice[4] and the Iguatemi Plaza Atrium and Piselli Restaurant in Sao Paulo.
