Perron et Frères is the story of a meeting between Gérald Perrin, a cabinetmaker and marker by training, and Mayeul Reignault, grandson of a cabinetmaker, passionate about wood, and a designer who has studied at ENSAAMA in Paris, the École Supérieure d'Art de Design in Saint-Étienne and ECAL in Lausanne. Mayeul discovered by chance the work of Perron et Frères, created by Gerald and an associate designer. He contacted the company and a collaboration began in 2017.

At the beginning, it was on missions, remembers Mayeul, then little by little I was brought to develop the design pole of the company. Three years ago, Gerald's partner left and it seemed obvious to us to continue the adventure as a pair.

Thus, Perron et Frères, whose favorite material is wood, develops pieces for brands or interior designers. But we now want to design our own furniture collections that convey our values of simplicity and honesty," insists Mayeul. And this is the future of Perron et Frères. We market these lines on our e-shop. In addition, we have just signed with the Sinople gallery to develop more singular pieces."

At Perron et Frères, which now has four employees, we design and work with wood, but we also call on outside service providers to carry out rich and complete projects. We don't limit ourselves to in-house know-how," says Mayeul. And this network is also our strength.
