On the eve of its bicentennial, Braquenié bears witness to the timelessness of its heritage and celebrates the quintessence of French style, a subtle blend of foreign influences and national creations. Offering a rich dialogue between tradition embodied in unalterable elegance and assumed representations, the ANNIVERSAIRE 1823 – 2023 collection unfolds around authentic reproductions as well as reinterpretations inspired by illustrious documents, preserved in the House's archives department, or in the heritage collections of the Château de Versailles, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris or the Musée de la Toile de Jouy.

Braquenié Revival, when heritage nourishes contemporary creation...
The Pierre Frey heritage collection contains more than 16,000 archives from Maison Braquenié. All these drawings, watercolors, carpet samples, books, textiles, garments and waistcoats are all patterns, designs and colors that have inspired the Pierre Frey Studio. The designers have re-edited identically several patterns, changed some scales, isolated part of a design and combined it with another... They have proposed new colors, worked with contemporary techniques... the prints become embroideries, jacquards or velvets, the small textile designs become large wallpaper patterns. Novelties written today, reinterpreting the codes of our heritage as transgenerational values.
Iles Enchantées collection
ILES ENCHANTEES collection is a beautiful escape to the shores of the Pacific whose islands fill our imagination. The mere mention of them brings up heavenly images: being rocked by the movement of the waves, diving into the crystal-clear waters of a lagoon, enjoying the scent of flowers or contemplating the horizon in the shade of coconut trees.
Founded in 1935, Maison Pierre Frey creates, publishes and manufactures fabrics in an inventive and deeply eclectic spirit. It draws its inspiration from the art of distant ethnic groups as well as from the 18th century in France and contemporary art. The Pierre Frey collections combine materials and motifs in bold and unique colours. In recent years, Pierre Frey has expanded its offer to include new professions in which the House expresses all its creative power: wallpaper, custom carpets & rugs, furniture.
Created in 1824, Braquenié is famous for its printed cotton, silk and hand-woven carpets. This illustrious House contains many historical treasures: old textiles, carpet samples and watercolour drawings. The documents, carefully preserved, reveal a fascinating world where know-how and elegance are sure values in terms of taste. Braquenié became the "great couturier" of interior design. The Frey family acquired it in 1991, perpetuating the spirit of origin through common values: tradition, know-how and excellence.
Marcel Boussac has remained legendary for his intuitive and creative genius. Essential in the French entrepreneurial landscape, it left its mark on the textile industry in the 1950s. Pierre Frey bought Boussac in 2004 with the desire to revive the fundamentals of this illustrious company. The latest collections highlight a new approach to decoration oriented towards the world of Design and push the limits of textile creation by always keeping in mind comfort, quality of execution and ease of use.
In 2004, Pierre Frey bought Fadini Borghi, born from the union of two Italian publishers who make up his name. Throughout its history, Fadini Borghi has never ceased to sublimate this magical and unique yarn called silk. Rich in an extraordinary heritage, this House brilliantly revisits the great Italian classics and offers a contemporary re-reading. Damascus, velvet and lampas rub shoulders with plain and fake ones, with the common denominator being the desire to cultivate a certain idea of Italian splendour and taste.
This furniture house, created in 1829, cultivates an unconditional love for the tradition of refinement, heritage and French craftsmanship. Its silks, brocatelles, damask and velvet with exceptional designs reproduce textile archives, the oldest of which date back to the Renaissance and highlight rare skills. After being run by the same family for five generations, La Maison Le Manach was bought by Pierre Frey in 2014, extending the happy alchemy between past and present.
On the eve of its bicentennial, Braquenié bears witness to the timelessness of its heritage and celebrates the quintessence of French style, a subtle blend of foreign influences and national creations.

Episode 13#GUESTTALENTS: HILT LINE by VINCENT DUPONT ROUGIER
Vincent Dupont-Rougier designs the HILT furniture line for Pierre Frey. This line is developed around legs carved from solid oak pieces. The sculptural appearance of the base is reflected in the faceted volumes and the rigidity of the outer lines contrasts with a soft comfort.

GABRIELLE, DESIGN BY GABRIELLE RUL FOR PIERRE FREY
The Pierre Frey design studio was seduced by Gabrielle Rul’s work, a 27-year-old model and multi-plastician, and reproduced one of her pieces composed of an assembly of silhouettes and female faces. The drawing realized with Indian ink gently illustrates the artist’s abundant, authentic and poetic imagination.

Episode 12#GUESTTALENTS: LITHO LINE by GUILLAUME DELVIGNE
The LITHO furniture line, designed by Guillaume Delvigne for Pierre Frey, evokes a primitive landscape where each piece has its own personality and resonates with each other. The range continues to expand, giving birth to large, massive, sculpted forms with a polished, almost mineral appearance.
