ABOUT STUDIO ZIRICOTE

Studio Ziricote guides AD100 designers, owner representatives, and UHNW homeowners through the French and European artisan world. We create a journey of discovery where you meet master craftsmen in their workshops, experience authentic techniques, and build exceptional furniture hand-in-hand with passionate makers.

We are your eyes, your hands, your voice on the ground in France. Whether your project is in Paris or New York, we bridge cultures and translate savoir-faire. You access 50+ vetted European workshops. You experience the craft firsthand. You create something truly unique.

We represent your interests with complete transparency. You purchase directly from makers, or we purchase on your behalf, with every cost fully documented. Honest partnership from concept to completion.

This approach comes from personal experience. Meet Alexis, the founder who built Studio Ziricote from a deep understanding of both worlds: the workshop and the luxury design industry.

Alexis is the founder of Studio Ziricote, a French company rooted in his passion for cabinet making and craftsmanship.

Before founding Studio Ziricote, Alexis completed a 6-year apprenticeship as an ébéniste (French cabinet maker). He holds a bachelor’s degree in quality management and an MBA.

After graduation, Alexis moved abroad to represent French luxury furniture houses. He worked in London with Ateliers Perrault (ADF Group), then moved to New York City with RINCK to establish their American subsidiary. Upon returning to France, he joined James 1840 to restructure their international sales activities.

These 10 years abroad allowed Alexis to collaborate with AD100 interior designers and deliver bespoke furniture and custom millwork projects in three major design hubs: Paris, London, and New York.

Today, Alexis uses this experience to guide international clients through France’s artisan world. He manages FF&E procurement for luxury residences, coordinates bespoke furniture with master craftsmen, and represents clients across France and Europe with complete transparency.
