REFINED EXPERTISE FOR SINGULAR FURNITURE
A MAISON / A HERITAGE
Renowned for the exceptional craftsmanship of its fabrics, wallpapers, rugs, and furniture, Maison Pierre Frey has been celebrating French decorative culture for three generations. As a member of the Comité Colbert, the Maison combines tradition with bold creativity. Its hallmark is an ability to explore unconventional paths, surprising with daring patterns, shapes, colors, and textures. Guided by evolving lifestyles and innovative techniques, Pierre Frey embodies a distinctive art de vivre. Each design reflects a singular vision, elevating interiors into spaces that inspire and captivate.
PASSING ON AN ART FORM UNIQUE IN THE WORLD
The Zuber saga began in 1797, and has remained in the same family for almost 200 years, since its origins in Rixheim near Mulhouse, the birthplace of wallpaper. The company’s reputation spread exceptionally far throughout the 19th century, and today it is the oldest wallpaper manufacturer still in business, and the only one to have maintained the tradition of block printing for panoramic decors, a technique that is gradually being abandoned elsewhere.
When Gisèle Chalaye took over the factory in 1985, she wanted to preserve this unique know-how. In her quest to guarantee the integrity, authenticity and values of Zuber, which she managed with passion and expertise, Gisèle Chalaye was determined to choose, when the time came, “a buyer who embodied the grandeur of the past, but also the vision of a resplendent future”. Today, it is with conviction that she entrusts Pierre Frey with the task of ensuring the company’s long-term future.

His practice, rooted in slowness, repetition and ritual, resonates with the values of craftsmanship and unique creation embraced by Maison Pierre Frey.

Gabrielle Rul is a 27-year-old model and multi-plastician who graduated from the Studio Berçot fashion design school. Rather than clothes, which she perceives as camouflage, it is the personality of people expressed through their looks that fascinates her. So it was faces and eyes that Gabrielle began to draw during the long hours she spent waiting for castings.
With a light and continuous line, often black and white, sometimes sprinkled with a touch of colour, she caresses the white paper of the cyclo backgrounds with a pure and spontaneous line, to express in Indian ink, pastel or watercolour, her own stories that everyone can appropriate.
Her work is inspired by life’s events, situations and encounters, mixed with her childhood memories. Influenced by a Vietnamese grandmother, agile with her hands and very creative, Gabrielle trusts her instinct and her experience to give free rein to her imagination.
