It employs 270 people of 31 different nationalities and works in 23 countries.
As a natural extension of the architectural firm’s projects, Jean-Michel Wilmotte founded the Wilmotte Industries design studio. Over the past 45 years, he has built up a real reputation in the world of industrial and object design, working with numerous publishers and industrialists throughout the world and particularly in France.
By bringing together the creative forces “made in France”, Jean-Michel Wilmotte promotes the development and influence of French manufacturers. In his studio, he strives to adopt his own architectural codes with sober, uncluttered lines, bringing a chic, timeless character to his collections.
