"Reflecting French's standards of style and elegance, our designs take inspiration from the poise and glamour of Parisian chic. The philosophy is simple: design should pay homage to the past, while embracing the future. It should take on a new sensibility, a bold approach." says the founder of the Ventury Group (since 1994) and former Elite Model Agency’s Partner Emmanuel Touraine (40).

Every procedure is invariably carried out by hand during a production process that demands approximately 19 hours of work for each single furniture and the involvement of at least 5 specialist craftsmen."
