Atelier de la Boiserie

What Atelier de la Boiserie does

Atelier de la Boiserie is a French artisanal woodworking firm founded in 1963 through the merger of Ateliers de Brimbois (Paris, 1963) and Boiseries et Décorations (Provence, 1980). The company designs, manufactures, and installs bespoke wood panelling, joinery, furniture, parquet flooring, doors, windows, and shutters, with a specialist heritage restoration practice fully compliant with the Venice Charter for classified French monuments. Operations span two main sites — a Paris headquarters and design office in the 11th arrondissement and a 4-hectare production complex with 4,000 m² of workshop space and a 450 m² showroom in Gargas (Lubéron) — supported by regional offices in Lausanne (since January 2019) and New York (since 2024). Over 60 craftspeople combine traditional hand techniques (hand-chevilling, dove-tail joints, hand carving) with modern CAD/AutoCAD and TopSolid design-to-fabrication workflows, working in oak, walnut, and other precious woods.

The company serves four primary customer segments: luxury private residences and HNW individuals, luxury hospitality (hotels, restaurants, private clubs), historic monuments and heritage sites (French government, museums, embassies, churches), and luxury retail boutiques (fashion, jewellery, watch, beauty brands). Notable engagements include Notre-Dame de Paris post-2019 fire reconstruction, Château de Versailles Appartement du Dauphin, Palais des Papes in Avignon, Abbaye des Vaux de Cernay (~350 m² of panelling), Collège Mignet (~400 windows), the UN headquarters in Geneva, and agencement for Cartier, Moncler, Harry Winston, Four Seasons George V, Fairmont Century Plaza, and One Sloane London. Distribution is exclusively direct via project commissions brokered through long-standing architect and interior decorator relationships (Gilles & Boissier, Pierre Yovanovitch, Pierre-Yves Rochon, Juan Pablo Molyneux).

Revenue is generated through bespoke commissioned works (one-time project fees), heritage restoration services, and limited furniture edition sales through the Brimbois brand (launched December 2021). Pricing is project-specific quotation with no public list. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Ateliers de France group (since 2013) and has held the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) state label since 2017. Leadership: Vincent Gounon as Gérant (Managing Director) and Éric Brohan as Head of Sculpture Department. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Lobmeyr: Austrian luxury maker of bespoke crystal, lighting, and furniture serving royal houses and luxury hospitality worldwide. Comparable as a comparably sized, heritage European craft house operating in luxury interior fit-out and bespoke commissions through decorator relationships.
• Studio Peregalli: Milan-based atelier specialising in luxury bespoke interiors, ornate decorative woodwork, and historically inspired residential projects. Comparable in niche, scale, atelier-style distribution via architects and decorators, and high-net-worth clientele.
• Porada: Italian luxury furniture maker producing high-end wooden furniture often in solid walnut and other noble woods, with bespoke and contract programmes for hospitality and residential. Comparable materials focus (fine woods, refined detailing) and luxury hospitality client overlap.
• Linley: British maker of bespoke furniture, cabinetry, and luxury interior joinery with showrooms in London and internationally. Directly comparable as a comparable-scale English-language peer serving the same HNW and luxury hospitality segments with similar bespoke, project-based economics.
• Charles Edwards Furniture: British bespoke cabinetmaker known for high-end reproduction furniture and luxury interior joinery. Comparable as a peer specialising in historically inspired, hand-finished cabinetry delivered to private and commercial luxury clients.
• Moissonnier: French luxury bespoke furniture and panelling house founded in 1885, also blending 18th-century reproductions with contemporary design. Closely comparable as a domestic French peer competing for the same HNW residential, hotel, and interior decorator commissions.

Broad incumbents

• RH (Restoration Hardware): Large US luxury home furnishings brand with a substantial bespoke and trade-contract programme (RH Interiors, RH Contract). Adjacent rather than directly competing given Atelier de la Boiserie is sub-segment luxury and high-end residential, but they overlap in serving luxury developers and HNW clients.
• Baker Furniture (Kohler): US heritage furniture maker (since 1890) with a strong luxury contract/hospitality programme serving designers and decorators. Comparable as a larger established player whose bespoke work overlaps with Atelier de la Boiserie's agencement and luxury hospitality installations.
• Maison Jansen: Historic French luxury interior design house (founded 1880) executing full interior fit-outs for palaces, embassies, and luxury residences. Overlaps significantly with Atelier de la Boiserie's agencement and heritage restoration work but operates as a broader design house rather than a woodwork specialist.

Emerging players

• Tassinari et Chatel: French luxury textile and passementerie maker founded in the 18th century, often co-specified on heritage restoration and luxury interior projects alongside wood specialists. Adjacent in heritage restoration supply chain and often working alongside Atelier de la Boiserie on commissions.
