The Atelier Jean Perzel Showroom
A place full of history and timeless creations
In 1931, Jean Perzel commissioned this building to be built by Michel Roux-Spitz, an architect (1st grand prize of Rome).
Our production workshops and showroom have always been based here.
We open to you the doors of this beautiful Art Deco building, situated on the edge of the Montsouris Park in the heart of Paris, to discover our collection from the 30s untill today, in a contemporary and elegant ambience.
You will find an exhibition of our range of ceiling light, suspension, wall lamps, floor lamps, consoles and bright lighting tables… still manufactured on-site, with the same skills and the same quest for perfection since 1923.
The team at Atelier Jean Perzel, distinguished by the french Living Heritage Company label, reserve you an attentive welcome and lavish great advices.
So, do not hesitate to cross the door of our magnificent showroom located 3 rue de la Cité Universitaire in the 14th district of Paris.
We are open Tuesday to Friday from 9am to 12pm and from 1pm to 6pm and Saturday from 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 7pm.
The Workshop, the tradition of manufacturing
Nothing has changed since the 1930s. The same building designed by the architect Roux-Spitz, in Paris’ 14th arrondissement, still houses the Jean Perzel lighting showroom and its design and manufacturing workshops.
We have remained a craft industry in order to ensure the quality of the product, keep up the tradition and flexibility of our adaptation for each client as we have always done.
« The materials we work with have a soul, a life. For optical glass, our master glassmakers create crystal strips, assembly with bronze requires several files, each piece is numbered, like a puzzle, then signed. No visible screws, no glue … Fifty to more than one hundred and fifty hours are necessary depending on the model.
It is a labor of love. Light is life. A beautiful light at home gives morale, embellishes a place, erases the shadows.
The Perzel Touch is a functional lighting object, elegant and timeless. We do not intend to make our objects stand out but instead the faces, surrounding objects, interiors. »
Our reward is the loyalty of our clients from all over the world. We have kept our production and the distribution of our products in the same facilities in order to carry out our role as advisor as well as to provide a meticulous service.
We have the honour to be rewarded by the french EPV label « Living Heritage Company » from the Ministry of Small and Medium-Size Companies, Trade and Craft Industry.
This label acknowledges «… the rare, renowned or ancestral know-how based on the command of traditional or highly technical techniques and restricted to a particular geographical area ».
We are proud to inform you that this decoration granted to Jean Perzel is a reward for this know-how based on his french traditional workcraft and the handing down through the generations.
