Rosalie Hoedts, mattress maker, for Atelier Le Briand

Since 1880, Le Briand workshops have been handcrafting wool mattresses and box springs in Paris.
They promote rare artisanal expertise by using natural and local materials.
Each product is custom-made to guarantee lasting, personalized comfort.

“The expertise, processes, and manufacturing techniques are based on fundamental principles focused on comfort, the local economy, living things, and the environment.”

In April 2024, Rosalie Hoedts received an honor loan to take over Atelier Le Briand, a craft business specializing in quilting and bedding, which is part of the upholstery trade.

The support covered the essential needs associated with the restart: purchase of equipment, digital management tools, communication initiatives, and renovation work.
It also strengthened the project and helped to promote a rare craft skill, ensuring the sustainability and development of the company, which has three employees.
