We engineer the alternative

Architectural surfaces and services, engineered and made in the French Alps and produced worldwide.

The studio

One studio holds
the project end to end.

Studio Saint-Pierre works from Saint-Pierre-en-Faucigny, a short drive from Geneva. Design and engineering stay with the studio. Production runs through the group's manufacturing network.

What we do

  • 01Bespoke surface expertiseMaterial and technique matched to each project.
  • 02EngineeringSubstrate and fixing resolved before production.
  • 03PrototypingFull-scale samples on the final substrate.
  • 04Distributed manufacturingSix production sites, close to the project.
  • 05Project managementOne contact from brief to delivery.
  • 06Interior design services3D visualisation and surface pattern design.

  3. 03TechniqueOne technique, or several combined.
  4. 04TextureFrom flat to 7 mm of relief.
  5. 05SubstrateChosen for the destination.

Prototyped at scale on the final substrate, signed off before production.

  • Printed surfacesYour design, surface printed on a substrate chosen for the destination. No minimum.
  • Metal weavingBespoke woven copper, thread from 0.05 to 0.5 mm, laminated in glass or set on rigid panels.
  • Art reproductionA public-domain masterwork, reproduced from the museum’s own open-access file at the scale of the wall.After Odilon Redon, Flower Clouds, c. 1903. Art Institute of Chicago.
  • It begins as a file.One pattern, held constant across every surface that follows.
  • Liquid MetalWalls, doors, furniture, staircases.
  • Liquid Metal, detailThe pattern in relief, finished by hand.
  • Woven copperLaminated glass, partitions, dividers.
  • Textured panelsWalls and feature panels, relief from 0 to 7 mm.
  • Embossed wallpaperDry interiors, relief up to 2 mm.
  • WallpaperWalls, ceilings, doors.
  • TextileUpholstery and wall upholstery.
