Maison Lelièvre is proud to annonce that it is joining the Comité Colbert to promote the excellence of French know-how and the international influence of our country's art of living. 

Created in 1954 on the initiative of Jean-Jacques Guerlain, the Comité Colbert is a unique collective. It brings together French luxury goods companies, cultural institutions and European luxury goods companies and represents 14 professions: from perfumery to jewellery, from fashion to goldsmithing, from gastronomy to wines and spirits, not forgetting design, music and decoration.

The Comité's mission is to contribute to the preservation of know-how and creativity and to their transmission to new generations.

Maison Lelièvre is honoured to have taken part in the Garden Party organised by PARIS SOCIETY in the heart of the Abbaye des Vaux-de-Cernay. This was an opportunity to highlight a Quenin archive from the Maison Lelièvre collection, through a magnificent tablecloth and accessories.

Produced around 1795, this "Léonie" archive features stylised flowers and exotic fruit, characteristic of Indian women of the period. The elegance of the graphics and the balance of the colours give it a real refinement, while the freshness of the shades has been wonderfully preserved.

From 15 May to 15 September, FRENCH DESIGN by VIA presents the ‘Chromo Sapiens’ exhibition, a colourful scenography designed by the Uchronia studio. This is an opportunity to discover, among the twenty seats selected, the Rue du Mail armchair from our Jeux de Salon collection, designed by José Lévy.

This year, Maison Cartron and Maison Lelièvre are celebrating more than 20 years of collaboration with a joint project: the STAR 6 - ÉCLATS rug. Presented this week during Milan Design Week 2024, this rug is designed around the geometry of a 6-pointed star, evoking traditional arabesques while offering a contemporary interpretation of oriental motifs. With its interplay of light and fragments, it embodies the perfect blend of tradition and modernity.

Twenty-six years old but constantly renewing: that's how PAD president Patrick Perrin likes to define the fair. It brings together the best international and French galleries of Historical and Contemporary Design.
The Lelièvre carpets in the Finis Terrae collection, designed by Marco Lavit, were given the opportunity to sublimate the space of the Galleria Rossella Colombari.

For its third collaboration with Lelièvre, this new version of the iconic model published by Caulaincourt Paris is adorned with the Kashmir fabric from the Tassinari & Chatel Patrimoine collection. Woven in the Lelièvre factory in the Lyon region, this precious fabric with its large paisley motifs is very rich in its treatment of detail, composed of silk and wool, echoing traditional Kashmir shawls.

From March 19 to June 23, 2024, the Grand Trianon hosts this exhibition dedicated to the exceptional silk order Napoleon placed with the Lyonnais silk manufacturers in 1811. Thanks to the collections of the Mobilier National and exceptional loans from the Manufacture Tassinari & Chatel, this exhibition looks back at the creation of these silks, which were destined to furnish the Château de Versailles.

Galerie Vauclair invites you to discover its new exhibition "Ma Madeleine à moi" to mark the launch of the Quenin brand. The exhibition, designed by Pietro Scaglione, Artistic Director of the PINTO Agency, will run until the end of February.

The history of Lelièvre and Quenin is closely interwoven. Both French companies made their debut during the Belle Époque. Modernity was emerging at the turn of the century, and progress, light-heartedness and avant-garde movements were bringing profound changes to lifestyles. It was in this frenzy that Quenin was born in 1865 in the cradle of Lyon’s silk industry.

A new chapter was opened in 1973 when Lelièvre bought the Quenin factory, with its centuries-old expertise. French style, a taste for beauty and a passion for materials and colour are a shared heritage. In 2023, Maison Lelièvre is updating a classic repertoire with a bold twist, combining tradition and impertinence.

Tassinari & Chatel, one of the oldest weaving mills in Lyon whose origins go back to 1680, celebrates in 2023 25 years with Maison Lelièvre. 25 years of exceptional creations, 25 years of unrivalled expertise and 25 years of renovation of French and international heritage. This anniversary is an opportunity to look back on the most prestigious creations of recent years in a series of videos entitled "Tassinari & Chatel, 25 years of the jewel of Maison Lelièvre".
