Lou de Pray, kesako?

Lou de Pray is a brand of high-end lighting in limited series , entirely handmade in France. Lou de Pray is the desire for a return to handmade , to the softness and quality of materials, chosen with care. It also means taking the time to create, assemble, reveal, enhance, and infuse love into each piece. Lou de Pray is a dose of beauty and authenticity, a break in a world that is going at full speed.

Conscious, responsible and humane.

A conscious French brand

Lou de Pray is above all a return to the fundamentals of craftsmanship: conscious, responsible and human. To begin with, each lamp is designed in Bordeaux, in my workshop. I choose raw materials collected as locally as possible: the wood is French, mainly from upcycling, and comes from the Ardèche region. The legs from which they come are turned by a talented cabinetmaker on site. At the same time, I call on a French company for the carcass of the lampshades. Once turned, the wooden legs are transported by co-transport, in order to limit the carbon footprint. The trimmings come from a specialized French company and the fabrics, embroidery threads and cotton cables come from border countries: Belgium, Germany and Italy. Ultimately, each lamp is made and then assembled by hand by me in my workshop. The circle is complete.

Limited collections

Because I am committed to making and shaping by hand, the Lou de Pray collections are in limited series . Artistic craftsmanship is not part of industrial production, each object takes time and will always have its own personality, a particularity that will not be found on other pieces. The nobility, rarity and history of the chosen materials require conscious, custom-made production. A limited production, a soul and a story in each lamp, which makes your interior unique and singular.
