Heritage
In our Lyon workshops, each creation is part of a continuous story: that of French Decorative Arts. Faithful to this heritage, we are committed to preserving and passing on a rich, living and inspiring legacy.
In this spirit of heritage, we acquire and restore decorative and textile archives dating from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. These rare documents, testaments to exceptional craftsmanship, enrich our contemporary collections and engage in a dialogue with our exclusive creations — a perfect balance between tradition and modernity.
Accompanied by our art historian, we are building up a carefully preserved and digitized archive in very high definition, in order to faithfully reproduce the texture, nuances and light of the old drawings and fabrics.
This preservation approach makes it possible to document an era, a company, and to return to the eyes the richness of details whose contours had little by little dissipated over time.
Custom made
Our expertise and high standards allow us to respond perfectly and quickly to requests for personalisation and custom-made products, on wallpapers and textiles but also other materials (Contact us).
Manufacturing
As printers and designers, our rigorous expertise in the latest digital technologies allows us to control the entire production process, from design to the strictest quality control, all within our Lyon workshops. Our substrates are carefully selected and tested for their quality, stability, and durability. We also work with other materials depending on the requirements and projects. Our cutting tools, accurate to within 1/100th of a millimeter, produce perfectly aligned, trimmed, and ready-to-hang strips. We offer very short production and delivery times.
– We consider each production run as a separate batch
– Each batch is individually inspected
– Colour shades may vary from batch to batch (a 5% variation is possible)
– Dimensional deformation tolerances between batches can be on the order of 0.5mm over 1000mm
Ecology & CSR
We guarantee environmentally friendly production (print on demand, no stocks, no solvents, recyclability of components, limited paper waste) and we have been committed to a CSR approach for 15 years.
