Background
Franck Genser began attending auction houses in Nancy at the age of six or seven, in a city rich with decorative arts. Immersed in this environment from a young age, he developed a deep interest in Decorative Arts, particularly Art Nouveau. His professional experiences around the world allowed him to absorb diverse cultures and design philosophies, fostering an intimate relationship with furniture. Believing that beautiful objects are both timeless and contemporary, creations that transcend time, he launched his eponymous design studio in 2016. Guided by a vision of timeless elegance blended with contemporary forms, the inaugural collection embodied this aesthetic, presenting pieces that integrated craftsmanship, innovation, and history. From the start, his work stood out for its ability to evoke intimacy and emotion, breaking away from the dominant market trends.
