Heritage
Named after the founder of the company in 1935, Maison Pierre Frey holds an heritage which combines the legacy of four historical brands specialised in sophisticated fabric manufacture: Pierre Frey, the French bold entrepreneur with a passion for fabrics and antiques; Braquenié the 1824 “haute-couture” house of interior design upholstering Emperor Napoleon III chariot and Victor Hugo residence; Fadini Borghi the Italian fabric house renewed for its stunning interpretations of great Italian classics from the past; And Boussac the French fabric revolutionary, who foreseen the changing market of the 1960’s introducing new patterns for a younger clientele.
The 7000 pieces of House of Pierre Frey collections are a mix of materials, motifs, and harmonious colours reunited under the common passion for carefully crafted fabrics. Member of the Comité Colbert, which gathers French luxury houses and several cultural institutions since its foundation in 1954, Pierre Frey takes part in promoting French art de vivre at international level.
