Delcourt Collection

Founded in 1995 by Christophe Delcourt, Delcourt Collection is a Parisian maison d'édition devoted to contemporary furniture of refined materiality and quiet sculptural presence. Born in Paris in 1966, Christophe is largely self-taught, he did not come from architecture or design school, but from the theatre. Trained as an actor and scenographer at the Cours Florent and the Théâtre École du Passage, Christophe learned to read space through emotion, material and presence. When he turned to furniture, he did not study it — he discovered it through the hands of craftsmen, learning the gesture, the material and the exacting commitment that high-quality making demands. The opening of his first gallery in the Marais district in 1998 quickly drew the attention of the international design community.

Delcourt's philosophy centres on the idea of 'essential luxury' — pieces stripped of the superfluous yet rich in the sensory qualities of their materials: solid wood, natural stone, patinated bronze and artisan leathers. The collection is conceived as a coherent domestic vocabulary: sofas, dining tables, consoles and lighting that share a common language of clean lines, generous proportions and subtle asymmetry.

In addition to his own designs, Delcourt has invited a curated roster of collaborators — including Forest & Giaconia, Thierry Lemaire and Toni Grilo — to contribute pieces under the Delcourt Collection umbrella, positioning the house as both a creative studio and a publisher of contemporary French design. The collection is represented in leading galleries and showrooms in Paris, London, New York and Asia.
