Liaigre was founded in 1985 by Christian Liaigre, trained in the beaux arts and decorative arts. The Maison has preserved his “style without being stylish”, which charms customers looking for contemporary interiors while still holding on to the excellency of the French furnishing tradition. Amid the buzz of the time, the Maison stood out for its discretion, preferring furniture with clean lines and perfect proportions, made from the finest materials, like wood, bronze, and leather. Pioneer of a modernity founded on the classic basis of furniture history, Liaigre gives prominence to the high-quality savoir-faire of French and international master craftsmen: cabinetmakers, saddlers, bronzesmiths, etc. Following the same logic, its interior design projects are characterised by the same minimalism, with an attention to detail adapted to the lifestyle of each customer.
From 2009 onwards, with the aim of ensuring the enduring legacy of his work, Christian Liaigre initiated a creative and managerial transition. In 2014, he appointed a new artistic direction from within his longstanding team to succeed him, before leaving the Maison in 2016. Christian Liaigre passed away in September 2020.
Having served as President since 2009, Christophe Caillaud has led the development of the brand, whose Studio creates interior architecture projects for private residences, public spaces and yachts. Liaigre’s twenty showrooms around the world, showcasing its collections of furniture, lighting and accessories, embody and convey this singular and exacting philosophy.
Liaigre became a Comité Colbert member in 2015.
Its signature
Regardless of the project, Liaigre style is expressed with complete subtlety: touches which appear subtle and voluntarily reserved, spaces adapted to the users’ needs, meticulous aesthetics designed to enhance the beauty of materials in both the interior design and furniture, a modern and timeless spirit, a blend of elegance and simplicity.
The address
Situated at 77 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, just a stone’s throw from the Elysée Palace and the district’s art galleries, in a hôtel particulier, the Maison has set up a showroom over four floors. It is designed like a home, which perfectly reflects its understated style and showcases the savoir-faire of the artisans who have worked alongside it since the beginning.
