Design Innovations Dubois: Crafting Furniture with French Flair
Founded in 1988 in the historic city of Lyon, Design Innovations Dubois began as a small family workshop with a grand vision: to redefine furniture design by marrying time-honored French craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation. Over three decades, we have grown from a local artisan venture to a nationally recognized brand, all while staying true to our core values of quality, sustainability, and exceptional design.
Our journey began in a modest atelier in Vieux Lyon, where founder Jean-Pierre Dubois, a master cabinetmaker, instilled a passion for meticulous detail and the use of only the finest materials. Today, his daughter, Élodie Dubois, leads the company, continuing her father’s legacy while steering Design Innovations Dubois towards a future of sustainable practices and global reach. Élodie, a graduate of École Boulle, brings a fresh perspective and contemporary design sensibilities to our collections, ensuring we remain at the forefront of furniture innovation.
At Design Innovations Dubois, we believe that furniture is more than just functional objects; they are integral parts of our lives, shaping our spaces and reflecting our personalities. This philosophy drives us to create pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also deeply meaningful and enduring. We are committed to creating furniture that tells a story, furniture that becomes a cherished part of your home or office for generations to come.
Our design process is a collaborative journey, often beginning with a simple sketch or an inspiring conversation with our clients. We embrace both bespoke commissions, where we tailor every detail to individual preferences, and our signature collections, which showcase the breadth of our design expertise and material innovation. From selecting sustainably sourced French oak to hand-finishing each piece with eco-friendly oils, every step is executed with precision and care.
Sustainability is at the heart of our operations. We are deeply committed to minimizing our environmental impact, from sourcing wood from responsibly managed forests in the Rhône-Alpes region to utilizing water-based finishes and reducing waste throughout our production process. We believe in creating furniture that is not only beautiful and functional but also environmentally responsible, contributing to a healthier planet for future generations.
Our Lyon workshop is more than just a manufacturing facility; it's a hub of creativity and craftsmanship. Here, skilled artisans, many of whom have been with us for decades, combine traditional techniques with modern technologies to bring our designs to life. Each piece of furniture that leaves our workshop is a testament to their dedication, skill, and passion for excellence.

Beyond crafting exceptional pieces, we offer interior design consultation services to help our clients create spaces that are both beautiful and functional.
