Master craftsman and descendant of a long line of weavers from Charlieu, in the heart of the historic Lyon region of silk weaving, Sophie Quéré trained as an upholsterer at La Bonne Graine in Paris. With an artist's eye, she searches for forgotten furniture and furnishing objects from 19th century France in order to bring them back to light for the 21st century. Admired around the world for its beauty and refinement, this style once furnished residences throughout Europe. Quéré's meticulous work and bohemian flair allow these pieces to be celebrated again by giving them a new lease of life.
Sophie's know-how in French upholstery perpetuates a tradition that has remained virtually unchanged since the eighteenth century. The pieces are embellished with modern patterns, colors and designs from hand-selected textiles in France and far-flung travels.
