Artist, designer, entrepreneur...
In the vibrant Marais district, where history mingles with the avant-garde, one name always comes up when it comes to atypical and inspiring places: Michael Timsit. An insatiable entrepreneur and discreet aesthete, he has turned Galerie Joseph into much more than a network of exhibition spaces: a veritable Parisian art of living. His addresses are well-kept secrets. Behind porte cochères, he reveals old private mansions, volumes bathed in light, walls that still bear the memory of the 17th or 18th centuries. But there's no nostalgia here: Timsit breathes a vibrant modernity into the place. Fashion shows, avant-garde exhibitions, prestigious launches - each venue becomes a showcase where heritage and contemporary creation come together.
Curious about everything, Michael Timsit doesn't limit himself to stone. With Acumen Magazine, he opens a window on the world of ideas. The magazine, a veritable high-end trend book, explores the worlds of art, design, fashion and architecture. A publication that reflects his temperament: demanding, cosmopolitan, always on the lookout for what makes sense and style.
Elegance, he declines down to the details. With Macty Timsit has fun revisiting the codes of the men's wardrobe, between classicism and quirkiness. And when he teams up with kinetic artist Mika, he celebrates art in motion, vibrant and hypnotic - a perfect metaphor for his own career.
Beyond galleries, there's real estate. But with Michael Timsit, the word takes on a different resonance: it's not just about acquiring or renovating, it's about re-enchanting Paris. His projects reconcile the grandeur of the past with the creative needs of today. Each restored building becomes a stage, each space an experience.
Discreet yet influential, Michael Timsit has established himself as a singular figure in creative Paris. Neither a simple gallery owner nor a classic promoter, he embodies this generation of entrepreneurs who see the city as a canvas to be reinvented. His style? That of an elegant visionary, capable of combining the rigor of a builder with the audacity of an artist.
Each gallery offers an exclusive universe, ideally designed to accommodate any kind of presentation: design, fashion, art... The gallery is renowned for showcasing the latest trends and new talents of the moment.
