What Carpenters Workshop Gallery does

Carpenters Workshop Gallery is a privately held international art and collectible design gallery founded in 2006 by Loïc Le Gaillard and Julien Lombrail in Chelsea, London. Operating as a French SARL with headquarters in Paris, the gallery runs four permanent exhibition spaces—Paris (Le Marais), London (Ladbroke Hall, Notting Hill), New York (Fifth Avenue), and Los Angeles (West Hollywood)—alongside an 8,000 sqm in-house production facility called The Workshop in Mitry-Mory, France, where represented artists collaborate with master artisans. The London flagship, opened in April 2023, includes four exhibition rooms, artist-designed private salons, a dedicated jewellery showroom, and a permanent installation of Jean Prouvé's 1944 Maison Démontable.

The gallery represents more than 50 contemporary and historical artists and designers (including Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret, Wendell Castle, Rick Owens, Vincenzo De Cotiis, DRIFT, and Ingrid Donat) across furniture, sculpture, ceramics, painting, lighting, and jewellery. Product categories include Collectible Design objects, the 'Carpenters Workshop Jewellery' sub-brand (Michèle Lamy & Loree Rodkin, Aki+Arnaud Cooren, Thibault Hazelzet), and curated exhibitions such as L'Espace du Faire at the Workshop. Underlying technology is a standard e-commerce platform with international shipping and a CMS-driven artist and exhibition catalogue; no proprietary AI, API, or SDK is disclosed.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of unique and limited-edition works via physical galleries, art fairs (PAD London/Saint-Tropez, Design Miami, India Art Fair), and the online store. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the gallery enforces a KYC/anti-money-laundering verification requirement for transactions above €10,000. Customer segments are HNW collectors, interior designers/architects sourcing for luxury projects, and museums/cultural institutions acquiring for permanent collections, reached through a hybrid GTM combining curated exhibitions, personal relationships, social/editorial PR, and art-fair presence.
