Our Craftsmanship

Our Expertise – Excellence at the Heart of Our Workshop

At the heart of our Workshop, each creation is the result of meticulous artisanal know-how. Our workshop manager, trained with the Compagnons du Devoir, leads a team of craftswomen from prestigious schools such as AFPIA and the École des Beaux Métiers. Together, they preserve traditional upholstery techniques while integrating contemporary approaches.

Upholstery technique – Spring tying

Our craftswomen work with iconic upholstery tools such as the upholstery hammer, curved leather needle, and strap stretchers. Traditional techniques—webbing, spring mounting, stuffing, and horsehair work—bring new life to furniture while respecting the rules of the craft.

Contemporary techniques complement traditional expertise for the creation of bespoke furniture and seating. Working with materials becomes more flexible: precise covering, cutting and shaping foam, and innovative assemblies. Industrial methods are also thoughtfully integrated, such as using staples to replace traditional padding tacks, while maintaining the creativity and quality of handmade work.

Every item tells a story, ready to open new chapters in the most beautiful interiors around the world.
