Selected with care
La Cornue has been building range cookers to order since Albert Dupuy patented his gas-fired vaulted oven in 1908, inspired by the tunnels of the Paris Métro. Each range is still individually crafted, combining technical heritage with highly personalised kitchen design.
Maison Pouenat draws on more than a century of metalworking expertise, evolving from an ironworking atelier into a house for contemporary furniture and lighting. Today, its metal craftsmanship is interpreted through collaborations with French architects and designers.
Philippe Hurel combines traditional cabinetmaking with a distinctly contemporary approach to furniture. Its in-house workshops cover veneering, lacquering and finishing, while bespoke pieces are created for private residences, hotels and yachts.
La Chance gives the French tradition of decorative furniture a contemporary twist, often with references to Art Deco. Its collections bring together international design perspectives and European craftsmanship across furniture, lighting, rugs and accessories.
Kostia Paris sits between fine cabinetmaking and functional art. Constantin Laan creates furniture, lighting and sculptural objects with a strong focus on craftsmanship and refined details, including the use of materials such as gold leaf.
Mercoeur Edition produces furniture and accessories in limited editions, working with both established designers and emerging talents. Final finishing and assembly take place in-house, giving the team close control over each piece before it leaves the atelier.
Franck Genser brings designers, engineers and craftspeople together to create one-offs and small series with a distinctly sculptural character. Walnut, parchment, marble and Japanese lacquer are among the materials that define the studio’s highly tactile approach.
Pierre Frey’s roots lie in upholstery fabrics, but its creative universe now extends to furniture, wallpapers and rugs. Craftsmanship remains central: the house operates its own furniture manufactory, while its weaving mill in northern France carries the EPV label.
Bina Baitel works at the intersection of art, design and architecture. Her one-offs and small series are developed with skilled craftspeople and blur the boundaries between functional object and collectible piece; her work is represented in public and private collections.
Victoria Magniant develops collectible furniture and lighting in close collaboration with craftspeople. Materials such as walnut, brass and hand-blown glass give the pieces their refined, material-led character.
Mouvement brings craftsmanship and contemporary functionality to the workplace. Its made-to-order desks and conference tables combine marble, solid wood or stainless steel with electrically height-adjustable construction.
Alabaster is at the heart of Alain Ellouz’s work. The atelier uses the translucent stone for lighting, backlit walls, bars and architectural furniture, turning the material itself into a defining element of both functional objects and interiors.
Manufacture de tapis de Bourgogne specialises in handwoven and hand-tufted carpets made to measure for designers and architects. A palette of more than 3,000 yarn colours allows each piece to be developed individually for its setting.
Ananbô reinterprets the French tradition of panoramic wallpaper for contemporary interiors. Its motifs begin as hand-painted artworks before being digitised and printed in France near Bordeaux.
6ixtes turns an everyday detail into an object of craftsmanship. Its predominantly brass switches and sockets include guilloché finishes inspired by jewelry and watchmaking, with bespoke versions available for individual projects.
Armand Jalut’s figurative paintings combine found imagery from everyday life and pop culture in unexpected compositions. His work is represented in major collections including the Centre Pompidou and the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris.
Constance de Maistre works primarily in oil, moving between abstraction and figuration and often working on a large scale. Landscapes, memories and sensations provide the starting point for her paintings.
