La Manufacture Paris
La Manufacture - Where the French allure meets the best Italian craftsmanship
LA MANUFACTURE is a brand where design and fashion collide. A brand where a certain
je ne sais quoi of French allure meets the best Italian craftsmanship. A certain idea of French
lifestyle (re)interpreted by world-renowned international designers.
Each collection will highlight world-class craftsmanship, timeless aesthetics and enduring
quality. After years spent dreaming of making this ambitious project a reality, his CEO Robert Acouri
has brought together two great figures from the creative industry, who share his passion and
determination: designer Luca Nichetto, La Manufacture’s Art Director, and fashion consultant Milena
Laquale, Head of the Fashion Collection.
And for their very first collection, the three have earned the trust of la crème de la crème of
the international design scene: Oki Sato, Founder of design studio Nendo; Ben Gorham, Founder of
Byredo; Patrick Norguet; Sebastian Herkner; Emma Boomkamp; Todd Bracher; Marco Dessí and
Elena Salmistraro. A remarkable achievement for this young company.
A pluricultural approach, bringing an additional dimension to the practice of confronting skills
and expertise particularly valued at La Manufacture.
This shared project establishes a connection between creative minds everywhere around
the globe, who share the same outlook. The backgrounds and disciplines of all of them combine
seamlessly to create this first collection, where design and fashion coexist and complement each
other.
La Manufacture is a place where bespoke, where manufactured objects take precedence
over the industrial process. Each piece is defined by its function, all aspects of its design carefully
considered, its experience shaped by the choice of carefully selected and highly specialised finishes,
all of which reflect the brand’s philosophy to consistently seek out the best, most unique and most
inspiring solutions. The intelligence of the hand, the beauty of handwork is paired with industrial
precision to lend greater emotion to this family of high-quality products, allowing them in turn to bring
to life their surroundings, whether residential or commercial.
La Manufacture runs counter to established norms: its ambition is not to respond to fads,
but rather to develop a comprehensive art of living. Timeless creations liberated from trends, but still
informed by the zeitgeist and the specific habits of contemporary urbanites who yearn for both
elegance and practicality.
Lastly, La Manufacture is also a physical location. In this golden age of concept stores, La
Manufacture has opted instead to open a boutique, a place where everyone can feel comfortable. An
opportunity for customers to make new experiences and to live something truly unique. A safe haven
where design and fashion collections are presented and allowed to express themselves in a
comforting setting of pared-down architecture. The appearance of simplicity, concealing a world of
elegant sophistication.
