Story : Maison Charles
In 1908, Ernest Charles took over Maison Ullmann, bronze maker.The Charles company, then based at 103 rue de Turenne in Paris, specialized in the reproduction of old lighting fixtures, thus building a notoriety within the art bronze casting profession.
In 1920, Emile-Albert Charles, his eldest son, took over the business and in 1932, joined forces with his brother Pierre.At this time the House was called CHARLES Frères.
In 1959, Emile-Albert Charles was joined by his 2 sons: Jean, Major of the BOULLE school in the interior architecture and wood sculpture section, and Jacques, a graduate of Applied Arts in Interior Architecture.
In 1960, Emile-Albert Charles and his two sons, Jean and Jacques, created the « Charles Style » combining classicism, rigor and current events, innovative in the field of lighting and decoration.Maison CHARLES thus created the famous “Ananas”, “Epi de maïs”, “Pomme de pin”, “Lotus”, “Vase Médicis” lamps, etc., then, in 1965, the INOX and Lacquer Line.Organ pipe lamps achieved great success and became an aesthetic reference of this period.
Jean, Jacques and Emile Charles died in 1970.
In 1971 Chrystiane Charles, wife of Jean and gold medal-winning sculptor of Fine Arts, then took over as Artistic Director of Maison CHARLES.
In 1972, she offered a collection of signed and numbered sculpture lamps, contemporary in expression and inspired by nature: “Amaryllis”, “Alizée”, “Orchidée”, “Tulipes”…
Maison CHARLES was awarded the Golden Lamp at the Salon International du Luminaire in Paris for creations by Chrystiane Charles: in 1978 for the Feuille d’eau lamp and in 1981 for the Orchidée lamp.
Laurent Charles, Architect D.P.L.G. and son of Chrystiane and Jean, joined the company in 1982 and created a new range of contemporary-classic lighting fixtures, high-quality architectural lighting, born from geometric and graphic research into Light.There are models such as: “Athos”, “Archeo”, “Tenere”, “Quasar”, “Linea”…
Maison CHARLES participates in numerous competitions and trade fairs and regularly obtains and is rewarded and distinguished.
In 1988 CHARLES, Bronze d’Art moved from its premises in Montreuil and returned to Paris and in 1989, expanded its activities towards luxury hotels and large-scale catering.
In 1997, Chrystiane Charles received the insignia of Knight of the National Order of Merit from the Minister of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, Mr. Jean-Pierre RAFFARIN.
