Essence and influences
Our aim is to create furniture that is bold and warm, sustainable and authentic, comforting and unique. Furniture conceived as a new itinerary in the world of design. Furniture that is aware of the environment in which it is created.
A different way of living, of experiencing life.Sustainability
An essential requirement: sustainability
Sheltering worlds: supporting the movement and the idea of a new standard in luxury furnishings, by defending responsible consumption and production, from the earliest stages of design right through to the final object.
Surrounding the eye with awareness : to develop at earliest stage in furniture design that incorporates contemporary awareness of environmental issues.
To share this vision through everyday objects whose legacy will live on for generations to come.Reconnecting with the essence: restoring excellence to furniture-making by restoring its prestige. Combining traditional craftsmanship with sustainable practices that generate local value.
Showroom
In the vibrant heart of the Opéra district, at 20 rue des Petits Champs, opens our showroom, a space where furniture becomes an experience, a journey between aesthetics and ethics.
Far from a mere showroom, our showroom embodies the essence of Laclaux: a dialogue between the eye and the hand, a tribute to excellent craftsmanship and sustainability.
Each piece presented here bears witness to our commitment to rethinking luxury furnishings, through an approach that respects the environment and the finest craftsmanship.
The creations you will discover here are designed to last, to convey a story, an emotion, a vision of furniture that is both bold and enduring, lively and singular.
In this space, we share our desire to reconnect with the essential, to design furniture that, through its quality and design, defends our vision of inhabiting the world.
The showroom thus becomes a space for dialogue, where past and future meet in works that celebrate craftsmanship and environmental awareness.
Come and explore our universe, let yourself be inspired by creations that call out to you and that, far from merely inhabiting a space, reflect another way of living and experiencing design.The Founders
