Our story

It started with one empty flat and a very small budget.

In 2014 I moved into a tiny apartment in Lyon with a mattress, two chairs and no idea how to make it feel like home. I spent a year learning, buying second-hand, painting walls three times.

Friends started asking for help with their places. Then friends of friends. Ten years later, Maison is a studio of fourteen people, and we still start every project the same way: by listening to how you actually live.

"Good design isn't about expensive things. It's about rooms that make your days a little easier."
