What ENTRELACS does

ENTRELACS, operating under the legal name FONDERIE D'ART MACHERET, is a French artisanal manufacturer of handcrafted lighting and furniture, founded in 2015 by brothers Yves and Paul Macheret and based in Montfort-le-Gesnois (Perche Sarthois). The company builds on a family bronze foundry heritage registered in 1993, producing small-batch luminaires and furniture in bronze and alabaster using traditional foundry and finishing techniques. Its product catalog spans a lighting collection (including named ranges such as HUBLOT, PEARL, TUBE, KHEOPS, QUATRE CENT QUARANTE, EDRU, MOON, BRAUN, BEAM, GHOST, YUMI, NARCISSE, TOAST) and a furniture line (LUST, with pieces such as the Console 1925), developed in collaboration with five named external designers rather than an in-house design team.

The business operates a B2B2C model with no public pricing; sales are quote-based and routed through a network of more than 30 showroom partners and regional agents across Europe, North America, Asia (including Russia), and the Middle East. End customers are typically reached through luxury retail showrooms and interior design/specification channels serving residential and hospitality projects. The company is privately held and family-owned, with no disclosed external funding, no M&A activity, and no published financials. Its go-to-market relies on the brand website (with a downloadable PDF catalog), Instagram, and the partner showroom network; there is no evidence of direct-to-consumer e-commerce or own-brand retail. Core competitive positioning is anchored on artisanal craftsmanship, designer collaborations, and a luxury product language rather than on technology platforms, AI/ML capabilities, or scale manufacturing.

The lighting collection features wall lamps, pendant lamps, table lamps, and mirrors in various collections including HUBLOT, PEARL, TUBE, KHEOPS, QUATRE CENT QUARANTE, EDRU, MOON, BRAUN, BEAM, GHOST, YUMI, NARCISSE, and TOAST. The furniture collection includes console tables and side tables under the LUST collection. All products are designed in collaboration with independent designers (Yves Macheret, Félix Millory, Kelly Boukobza, Arnaud Leman, Aliénor Bechu) and crafted using traditional foundry techniques with patinated bronze, alabaster, marble, and nickel-plated bronze materials. Products operate on standard electrical specifications (220-240V/50-60hz/24V) with LED lighting technology.
