From Pianos to Contemporary Furniture

Pleyel, one of France's oldest and most prestigious piano manufacturers/ébénistes since the early 1800's, has just reinvented itself as a major player in the contemporary furniture market with a brand new line of contemporary furniture and design.

 

A fascinating collaboration between some of France's most innovative designers and its most skilled wood workers, Mobiliers Pleyel, will launch its debut collection at the prestigious French home decor trade show "Maison et Objet", which opens this Friday in Paris.
