About

Back for its 15th anniversary edition, French Craft Collective is an exclusive one-day event dedicated to high-end design, curated by Business France. 

It gives British specifiers (architects, interior designers) and journalists the opportunity to discover a hand-picked selection of French craftspeople renowned for their know-how, techniques and unique expertise. These makers are highly specialised in private residential and commercial design projects. 

Several world-class, highly-skilled French artisans come together in London to showcase a glimpse of their creations, bringing selected pieces for the trade to see. Proceedings centre around ‘Rendez-vous with the Makers’ sessions, where specifiers can meet the artisans, discover their crafts and discuss ideas for collaboration.  

In addition, a thought-provoking panel discussion featuring leading names from the design industry takes place during the day. 

A space for learning, networking, sharing ideas and discovering opportunities for future collaborations on design projects, the event showcases the skills of the following exceptional makers working in France: 

• ARCA – Creative woodwork 
• Atelier Mériguet-Carrère – multi-disciplined artisans
• Bignon Dervaux – bespoke home linens
