The organization is a merger of the Mobilier National and Cite de la Ceramique, both historically significant institutions. Although the demand for France's craft businesses is strong, many smaller ateliers face challenges in meeting this demand, highlighting the fragility of the industry. The decorative arts sector generates tens of billions of euros annually, reinforcing the commitment to safeguard France's unique artistic heritage.
Herve Lemoine emphasized that understanding the richness of decorative arts requires witnessing the craftsmanship firsthand, particularly at the historic Sevres porcelain factory.
The new organization established by the French government aims to safeguard and transmit centuries-old craft techniques, merging two renowned institutions focused on decorative arts.
With demand strong for France's craft businesses, Lemoine highlighted that while there is significant sales potential in the sector, many small ateliers struggle to keep up.
The decorative arts sector represents several tens of billions of euros annually, showcasing the enduring value and importance of craftsmanship in France.
