Tanguy Design

What Tanguy Design does

Tanguy Design is a privately held French interior design firm founded in 1985 and headquartered in Auray, Brittany (Morbihan). The company specializes in the design, supply, and installation of contemporary kitchens, bathrooms, and custom residential interiors for individual homeowners in the regional market. It operates a single showroom that functions as both retail point-of-sale and project consultation environment.

The firm's core offering is curated, design-led interior projects built around a portfolio of premium European brands. Its kitchen proposition is anchored by Italian manufacturers MODULNOVA and COMPREX, complemented by appliance partners including NEFF, FRANKE, LUISINA, SUBZERO, and WOLF. Furniture and storage lines are sourced from LAGO, RIMADESIO, VIBIEFFE, BONALDO, MISURA EMME, and LEMA, with FABBIAN supplying lighting. The technical workflow combines in-house specification and project management with 3D visualization (SketchUp, HD, Insta renderings) supplied via manufacturer or in-house design tools, supported by a virtual showroom tour (Visite Virtuelle) for remote prospect engagement.

The business model is project-based and consultative: revenue is generated from one-off design-and-supply contracts with private clients, with margins driven by specification of higher-end imported brands rather than volume. Go-to-market relies on the physical showroom, a website portfolio, Facebook, and word-of-mouth in the Brittany catchment. The firm is family-owned, with Mme Tanguy listed as Director of Publication, and is registered under SIRET 33447506800034. Total headcount is 12 employees, all based at the Auray site.
