Tanguy Le Baud, Founder
Art Meets Art was born from a simple wish: to create the beauty House I would have loved to shop at and work for.
Raised in Paris on a houseboat with views of the Eiffel Tower and the Pont Alexandre III, I strive, in return, to celebrate the beauty and lifestyle of the City of Light—a city deeply rooted in global culture and the arts.
While traveling the globe for business and leisure—collecting new musical genres, languages, and culinary styles—Paris and its art de vivre have always remained my home port.
Singing, playing the guitar, and listening to all kinds of grooves, I’ve found that few things move us like music. Yet, scent is also a profound unifier. Starting my scent journey with cooking (taught by my grandmother) and then oenology, I later joined Lancôme and Kiehl’s to continue exploring our senses. Ultimately, I realized that scent and sound share a unique, invisible power: they are our most intuitive languages for energy, emotion, and memory.
From my years at Lancôme and Kiehl’s, I learned the true meaning of product excellence. Blending music and beauty felt like the most natural next step in exploring human creativity.
With Art Meets Art, our ambition is to bring an arty, playful, and uninhibited edge to luxury beauty, contributing to the rich French tradition of Art, Beauty, and Taste.
By exploring our artistic heritage, Art Meets Art questions and stimulates our sensitive humanity, seeking a universality that unites us and at the heart of which our innermost selves resonate.
