Until 1999, Didier et Clémence Krzentowski directed an agency in charge of planning meetings between designers and manufacturers. But they decided to get closer to the public by opening a design gallery, first in the 13tharrondissement, then considering the international success of their exhibitions, in Saint-German-des-Près. The gallery produces and presents exclusively the creations of the brothers Bourroulec, Jasper Morrison, Marc Newson, Alessandro Mendini, James Irvine or Martin Szekely but also presents a selection of beautiful lights (from the 1950s to nowadays) by Ingo Maurer, Gino Sarfatti or Achille Castiglioni.
François Laffanour is a major figure in the design market. He launched his gallery in the 1980s, after spending a few years at the “Puces” (the Flea Market), and he shows there furniture by European and American architects : Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé, Le Corbusier, Jeanneret, Ron Arad, Choï, Georges Jouve, Serge Mouille, George Nakashima, Jean Royère, Ettore Sottsass or Takis.
Since almost 100 years, Poltrona Frau has been working with the greatest names in design : Pierluigi Cerri, Achille Castiglioni, Michele de Lucchi, Jean-Marie Massaud, Andrée Putman or Cini Boeri… Considered as the “Hermès of Italian furniture”, the quality of production has always been a priority for the company, following the example of its patented leather, Pelle Frau, gotten after twenty one different stages of production and available in more than ninety shades of color.
