Atelier Loupiote

What Atelier Loupiote does

Atelier Loupiote is a French artisan manufacturer and direct-to-consumer retailer of handcrafted wooden luminaires and ceiling fans, headquartered in the Lyon region (Vaulx-en-Velin), France. The company designs, fabricates, and ships products made from FSC-certified wood (primarily poplar) sourced within 600km of its workshop, using laser-cutting of wooden lamelles combined with manual finishing and assembly. Its catalog spans six core categories — suspensions (pendant lights), appliques murales (wall lights), lampadaires (floor lamps), lampes à poser (table lamps), plafonniers (ceiling-mounted lights), and ventilateurs de plafond (ceiling fans with integrated LED) — plus accessories (LED bulbs, cables, lampadaire feet) and a recently added vegetable-wax bead candle line. Products ship as flat-pack self-assembly kits requiring no tools.

The company serves a primary B2C segment of design-conscious homeowners seeking locally made, eco-responsible lighting and a secondary B2B segment of architects, interior designers, and hospitality clients (hotels, restaurants) via a dedicated wholesale portal. Go-to-market is a Shopify-powered DTC storefront supplemented by appointment-based workshop visits, social media (Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook), a deco-tips blog, an email newsletter with a 10% welcome discount, and an AR visualization tool. Pricing runs from €59 (table lamps) to €399+ (ceiling fans), with a 4x interest-free payment option, 60-day free returns, a 2-year warranty, and periodic bundle promotions.

Atelier Loupiote is privately held and bootstrapped, with no disclosed institutional investment. Its team of approximately 7–10 includes designers and workshop staff handling laser cutting, hand finishing, quality control, and customer service. Standard production runs 48 hours with 48–72 hour shipping, although a recent fire incident at the workshop has extended average delivery to approximately three weeks. The company positions itself against the structural fact that roughly 95% of luminaires sold in France are imported, leveraging local manufacturing, design distinctiveness, and eco-credentials as its central differentiation.
