A collection rarely starts with a drawing. It starts with a material brought back from a workshop, a shade spotted at a trade show, a use a retailer points out to us. Eighteen months later, it reaches the shelves.
The design studio works in France, in Hautmont, a few metres from the warehouse. That proximity is not incidental: a designer can pull a piece from stock, set it beside a prototype and judge the object itself rather than a screen. Decisions are taken quickly, and corrected just as quickly.
Each season the team opens up a great many avenues. Half will not get past the prototype stage. Those that remain are tested as part of a range: one strong piece is not enough, it has to sell three others around it.
From prototype to shipping dock
Once the range has been approved, production is launched with our partners — in ceramic, wood, metal, glass or textile depending on the piece. Volumes are calculated to last the whole season: a retailer restocking in October must find the same reference as in June.
Our job is not to find a beautiful object. It is to build a new story around a product, then to keep it going for a whole season.

The collections then go on show: first in the showroom, then at Maison&Objet, and finally at your premises. That is the last filter, and the most useful: every product has to be immediately legible, desirable and obvious enough to find its place in our collections.
The summer 2027 collection is currently being decided. The first images will be presented by your sales representative in November 2026.
