Growing up above his father’s wood workshop had a profound impact on Emmanuel Joussot, who was immersed in this world from an early age. His father employed apprentices from the Compagnons du Devoir and, as a child, Emmanuel learnt cabinetry and joinery alongside them. He worked under his father’s guidance for 14 years before taking over the management of the workshop on his retirement in 1989. The workshop originally focused on the production of 17th to 19th century French furniture designs, however now Emmanuel mainly makes contemporary furniture as well as panelling, antique furniture and gilded wood. He works closely with designers and interior decorators to create interior layouts and single pieces or limited series.
