Paris, given its reputation as the culture capital of the world, has also a very-well cultivated arts and crafts industry. In fact, it’s been elevated to the height of sophistication no small thanks to the efforts of Ateliers d’Art de France, the largest craft federation in the country. Established in 1868, this esteemed organization proudly represents over 6000 professional craftsworkers, artists and craft workshops across France. Ateliers d’Art de France plays a pivotal role in shaping the sector's economic landscape both domestically and internationally as it’s sworn to defend as well as advocate for French professionals. Boasting a wealth of expertise in organizing fine crafts and heritage fairs, the federation has become synonymous with excellence in promoting France's rich artistic heritage on a global scale. Ateliers d’Art de France has been at the forefront of fostering connections between creators and consumers. The iconic Salon des Ateliers d’Art, inaugurated in 1949 and later transformed into the renowned MAISON&OBJET in 1995, is just one example of the federation's visionary approach to showcasing unique and innovative craftsmanship. Ateliers d’Art de France has grown a robust sales network in Paris and beyond and offers a spectacular catalogue of singular and meaningful objects crafted by artisans located throughout France. From exquisite tableware and jewelry to bespoke furniture and fashion accessories, these curated spaces serve as havens for art enthusiasts seeking one-of-a-kind treasures. But MAISON&OBJET was only the first step. Ateliers d’Art de France launched the International Heritage Fair in 2009, which solidified the organisation’s position as a driving force in promoting cultural heritage preservation and appreciation. This prestigious event attracts over 300 exhibitors and hosts numerous round-table discussions that bring together the entire community of heritage stakeholders to exchange ideas and insights.
