– Empire style –

Discover our Empire-style paneling schemes, abounding in references to Ancient Rome and Egyptian motifs, among other ornamentation. This style, one of the Féau firm’s specialties, was very fashionable during Napoleon’s reign and is embodied by the work of the architects Percier & Fontaine, whose codes our design studio masters perfectly.

A custom-designed craftsmanship

From the initial sketch to the decor’s installation, Féau’s teams work closely alongside interior designers, attentive to their vision.
