Hilton McConnico

Hilton McConnico

Joseph Hilton McConnico is a designer and artist who was born in Memphis, Tennessee but has lived and worked in Paris since 1965. After working in fashion for such designers as Ted Lapidus and Yves St. Laurent, he was set designer & art director for more than 20 films, including the cult classic "Diva." In 1990 Memphis Brooks Museum of Art held a retrospective of 30 years of his creations.

His collaboration with Daum crystal began in 1987; some of his "Cactus" creations for the manufacturer were presented by former French President François Mitterrand to President George H. W. Bush as a gift of state. He was also the first American to have work permanently inducted into the Louvre's Decorative Arts collection.

McConnico continues to be active on the global design scene, especially in architecture and interior design. Recent projects include the "Toupary" restaurant on the fifth-floor of the historic Samaritaine department store and the "Hermes" Museum in Tokyo, which he conceived for the new Renzo Piano building in the famed Ginza shopping district.
