La Lune

What La Lune does

La Lune (legal entity LA LUNE GALERIE SARL) is a French private company founded in 2018 and incorporated as a SARL in 2022, operating from Thenissey in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté with approximately 25 employees. It runs a curated online gallery and a nomadic exhibition program that presents collectible design objects and handcrafted art pieces drawn from a network of roughly 33 master artisans across ceramics, woodwork, metalwork, lighting, sculpture, seating, storage, tables, textiles, tableware, walls, and curated antiques. Pricing spans from approximately €50 for small tableware to over €32,000 for limited-edition furniture such as the Éditions La Lune collaboration with Claire Cosnefroy and Paul Michelon, with many pieces priced on request.

The business is monetized through one-time sales of unique objects via a Squarespace-based e-commerce storefront, supplemented by a Trade Program offering professional pricing and bespoke project support for interior designers, architects, and hospitality clients. Distribution combines direct e-commerce with worldwide shipping, the dedicated trade channel ([email protected]), and ephemeral in-person exhibitions plus private appointments. Marketing relies on organic Instagram, email newsletters, and website content rather than paid acquisition. The technology stack is intentionally low-tech: there is no proprietary platform, no API, no integrations, and no AI components — the underlying asset is curation, artisan relationships, and brand storytelling rather than software.

The company is privately held with €1,000 of share capital, no disclosed institutional investors, and no parent or subsidiary entities. It serves two primary segments — design professionals and individual collectors — plus a secondary hospitality vertical, with the Éditions La Lune sub-brand representing its only owned-IP product line.
