Architects and decorators, furniture and textile creators, Leleu family’s name is synonymous with luxury, high quality French creation, noble materials. Modestly beginning in 1882, the family saga becomes famous and establishes the company in a prestigious hotel, 65 Franklin Roosevelt Street in Paris. Leleu was a star firm in the French decoration environment under the guidance of Jules Leleu from the \u201920s to 1948, then supervised by Andr\u00e9 Leleu, assisted by his children and all his family, from 1948 to the \u201970s. The Leleu style is born with the Art-D\u00e9co and evolves during the years until 1973. Jules Leleu, such as his sons Andr\u00e9 and Jean and his daughter Paule, was first a creator. Countless pieces of furniture and decor elements are born from his skilled and inventive drawings. These talented creators also were technicians who knoew perfectly woods and used precious materials very well: ivory, mother-of-pearl, scale, shagreen, lacquer or marble. Jules Leleu was a painter and sculptor as well and his son Andr\u00e9 a sculptor. The company deployed its activity in every field: interior design, furniture, woodwork, fabrics, carpets, lights, in collaboration with many artists: da Silva Bruhns’ carpets, Gernez’s and Kaskoff’s tapestry sketches, Hilaire’s, Lur\u00e7at’s and Picart-le-Doux’s mural tapestries, Brayer’s, Chapelain-Midy’s, Despierres’, Souverbie’s, Terechkovitch’s and Vert\u00e8s’ paintings on furniture, Bobot’s, Dunand’s and Hamanaka’s lacquers, Brandt’s and Subes’ decorative ironwork, Dejean’s and Revol’s sculptures. The General Transatlantic Company, the Shipping Delivery Service and the United Loaders Company ask Leleu to decorate many liners: Marseillaise, \u00cele-de-France, Antilles, Cambodge, Libert\u00e9, F\u00e9lix Roussel, Mar\u00e9chal Joffre<\/em> and France<\/em>. Leleu arranges a lot of French and foreign embassies, Elys\u00e9e’s dining room, President of the Republic’s train, heads of state’s residences such as the President Habib Bourguiba’s in Tunisia and the President Felix Houphou\u00ebt-Boigny’s in Yamoussoukro.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
