What Ilicut does

Ilicut (ILICUT SAS) is a French custom wood manufacturer and direct-to-customer e-commerce retailer specializing in made-to-order solid wood and engineered panel products. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Vendenesse-lès-Charolles (Saône-et-Loire), the company uses CNC cutting and machining equipment at a 6,000m² FEDER-co-financed production facility to produce custom-dimension panels, kitchen and bathroom worktops, table and desk tops, shelves, stair treads, claustra screens, and decorative wall cladding. The product range spans 13+ wood species (oak, beech, walnut, ash, bamboo, maple, cherry, etc.) and engineered substrates (MDF/Valchromat, plywood, OSB, melamine, compact laminate). Inputs are FSC® and PEFC™ certified. Ilicut primarily serves individual consumers undertaking home-interior projects (B2C), with a secondary professional channel ("Espace Pro") for tradespeople, furniture makers, and interior designers (B2B).

The commercial model is exclusively direct e-commerce. Customers place orders through ilicut.com using a self-serve online configurator that captures dimensions and material specifications without sales intervention, supplemented by a Design Office service for complex projects and add-on finishing and panel-assembly services. The storefront is localized in five languages (French, English, German, Spanish, Italian) and ships to roughly ten European countries (France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Andorra, Monaco). Revenue is transactional (one-time product sales); free-delivery thresholds are €350 for France and €550 for other EU destinations, and bespoke items are non-returnable under French consumer law. Custom wood sales constitute the primary revenue stream, with finishing and assembly services and standard products (hairpin/rectangular table legs, solid-wood flooring, oils and varnishes) as secondary streams.

Ilicut is privately held as a French SAS with €300,000 of registered share capital and no disclosed external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries; the publication director is Catherine Ducerf. Operating headcount is in the 11-50 range, with additional offices in Charolles (accounting, logistics, returns) and Écully (commercial) supporting the main plant. Marketing is content-led (blog, inspiration gallery of 300+ projects, active social channels on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, YouTube) with an email newsletter and Google Ads as the paid layer. The company is registered with Eco-mobilier (FR015243) for furniture recycling compliance and declared with the CNIL under French data-protection law.
