With around twenty five French companies representing what is part of France’s cultural heritage, “Art de vivre à la française” is an event of great importance i am very proud to introduce to you. indeed, you can see through this exhibition famous French brands that sound out very familiar both to French and saudis. At the same time, i am particularly pleased to see that French luxury industry goes well beyond few names, thanks to a multitude of small and medium enterprises with a unique and ancient know-how. i wish that this unique and prestigious event, the first of this kind in saudi Arabia, will be a new opportunity to strengthen economic and commercial ties between our two countries.
Mr bertrand besancenot Ambassador of France in saudi Arabia
“luxury houses represent a large part of the economic fabric in France. indeed, they totalize 217 trades in 19 different sectors and count over 38,000 companies employing almost 100,000 people.
As a part of the French economic and cultural identity, these companies ensure the conservation, valuation and transmission of the know-how of excellence, and are essential in preserving the heritage as well as representing contemporary creation.
their unique talents combine tradition and design, love for matter and virtuosity of the gesture, intelligence of the eye and the hand. Furthermore, their quest for innovation helps them to remain the best in their field.
the purpose of the exceptional ‘Art de vivre à la française’ exhibition is to present for the first time to the saudi Arabia audience, the excellence of the French know-how in luxury décor, world renowned for its exquisite aesthetic and superior quality.”

TISSERANT
Since 1930, three generations of craftsmen bronze-founders have been rediscovering and perpetuating the degree of perfection reached in the 18th century in producing bronze luminaires and furniture.This expertise is recognized by the curators of the world’s greatest museums, and decorators, interior architects, and collectors around the world.Reproducing identical copies of famous examples, in every style, from Renaissance to Art Deco – not forgetting Louis XIV, Louis XV, Empire...So identical that even the specialists can find themselves baffled: when Louisbourg Fortress in Canada was restored, the original wall-lights were removed and became accidentally mixed up with the copies made by Tisserant Art & Style. It proved impossible to tell them apart. And when the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Quebec received a visit from some burglars, what they stole was in fact a Tisserant Art & Style reproduction of Champlain’s astrolabe, while the original stayed safe and sound.
