Part 5: Domeau & Peres' Innovative Furniture (1)



Part 5: Domeau & Peres Furniture – Innovating Tradition (1)


In Europe and America, collaborations between manufacturers and product designers to create highly artistic furniture are no longer uncommon.
The French company Domeau & Peres is one such manufacturer.
Founded in 1997 by Bruno Domeau, a master saddler, and Philippe Peres, a master weaver, the company primarily produces furniture for automobiles, aircraft, and residences.
As artisans themselves, their creations are crafted with traditional, high-level craftsmanship, yet their approach always feels remarkably fresh.

Tradition and Creation


For artisans with traditional skills, forging new expressions is not easy. In this sense, Domeau & Peres' work is exceptional, innovative, and holds great significance for the future of craftsmanship.

They have provided their expertise (particularly in interiors) for top-tier special editions of Peugeot and Citroën cars and participated in the development of concept cars by Hermès. Given that Hermès, renowned as France's premier saddlery, has recognized them, one can easily imagine the high level of their skill. Alongside these collaborations with top companies, they also operate as a furniture manufacturer, producing works primarily for French designers such as Andrée Putman, Christophe Pillet, and the Bouroullec brothers.

The desk featured here is by the Bouroullec brothers, Ronan & Erwan, who are currently among the most talked-about designers in France. Its legs, with a poised stance reminiscent of a compass, evoke Jean Prouvé. The desk's surface is meticulously finished with leather, showcasing masterful craftsmanship, exuding a sense of gravitas and luxury despite its simple design.

In fact, this desk can be seen and purchased at the recently opened "hhstyle.com/Limited." The phenomenon of such top-tier pieces becoming available in Japan is also fascinating.
