Micheli Design

Micheli Design is a French artisan furniture workshop based in Mayenne, specialising in made-to-measure pieces crafted from solid oak and welded steel. The brand was founded by Laurine and Sébastien, whose complementary skills — one designing, welding and building; the other observing, finishing and revealing — shape every piece. The workshop's origins lie in the flea markets of Mayenne, where salvaged workbenches, bistro chairs, marked wood and rusted steel inspired the idea that certain materials do not die but patinate, transform and are passed on. Micheli Design does not produce serial furniture. Each item is made to order in the Mayenne workshop, with no stock and no standard models. The brand's offer covers storage (sideboards, consoles, entrance furniture), vinyl and CD storage (record bins, CD drawers, listening stations), solid wood tables (dining and coffee tables), and TV/Hi-Fi furniture designed to integrate screens, turntables, amplifiers and cables. The use of French solid oak, welded and patinated steel, and hand-applied finishes gives each piece a durable, warm character intended to accompany real life for many years. The company positions itself as an alternative to catalogue furniture, addressing specific needs such as awkward walls, collections to store, screens to integrate, or narrow entrances. Delivery is handled personally by the workshop to the installation site. The brand's philosophy emphasises longevity, craftsmanship and a more considered relationship with furniture, echoing the durable, repairable pieces of past generations.

Micheli Design began with objects that had already lived: an old workbench, bistro chairs, marked wood, rusted steel, pieces found in the flea markets of Mayenne. Where many saw tired furniture, Sébastien saw proof that certain materials do not die — they patinate, transform and are passed on. This intuition, combined with the memory of furniture kept for a long time like that of grandparents — repaired, moved from house to house, sometimes handed down — gave rise to the brand. The workshop was founded by two people, Laurine and Sébastien, whose complementary approaches define the brand: one imagines, draws, welds, shapes and builds; the other observes, supports, highlights, finishes and reveals. This balance gives Micheli Design pieces their character: solid without being cold, raw without being heavy, elegant without becoming smooth. Based in Mayenne, France, Micheli Design operates as an artisan workshop producing made-to-measure furniture in solid oak and welded steel. Every piece is made to order in the workshop, with no stock and no standard models. The brand's range includes storage furniture (sideboards, consoles, entrance units), vinyl and CD storage (record bins, CD drawers, listening stations), solid wood tables (dining and coffee tables), and TV/Hi-Fi furniture designed to integrate screens, turntables, amplifiers and cables. The use of French solid oak, welded and patinated steel, and hand-applied finishes reflects a commitment to durability and craftsmanship. Delivery is handled personally by the workshop to the installation site. The brand does not seek to reproduce the past but to rediscover a more considered relationship with furniture: creating solid, useful and durable pieces capable of accompanying real life for many years. The company remains a private, independent workshop.
