About

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.
