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.
