Exceptional know-how

Jean-Luc Le Mounier's workshop has become a real laboratory of innovation and know-how

It produces exceptional pieces such as spectacular straw marquetry cabinets, engraved ebony consoles, enamel dressers or bronze tables…

His team masters in-house a multitude of techniques and rare materials as diverse as straw marquetry, precious wood veneer, bronze work, colored stainless steel assemblies. Not to mention the sand that Jean-Luc Le Mounier has been shaping for several years.

His workshop has perfected its experience over time thanks to the realization of hundreds of projects. These have led the team to take up challenges using very specific techniques such assembling shagreen skins, leather cladding furniture interiors, inlaying of mother-of-pearl or gypsum (selenite), lacquer or marble.

The artist does not set any limits. He does not forbid seeking other know-how in the best French workshops. He collaborates with master enamellers in Limoges, great Italian marblers but also with young talents with unique know-how : embroiderers, upholsterers, ceramicists.

Creator of extraordinary art furniture

Each encounter is an opportunity to surprise the lovers of exceptional pieces to bring them where they did not imagine

Beyond a rare know-how that belongs only to him, the particularity of Jean-Luc Le Mounier’s works lies in the fact that he does not limit his work to the use of a single material or a single idea. Each singular creation is also an opportunity for the creator to tell a story and to deliver a part of himself. Jean-Luc Le Mounier creates his art furniture with passion and a real attachment to the tradition of French decorative arts and traditional cabinetmaking techniques. He is attentive to all the details that will ensure a durable aspect to each of his creations. He and his team of craftsmen devote hundreds of hours to the meticulous execution of finishes that testify to a quasi-museum quality.
