Edmond de Rothschild Capital Partners (EDRCP) becomes with its founder, the majority shareholder of the company Christian Liaigre, specialised in interior decoration and architecture, as well as being a producer of luxury furniture.
With the opportunity of this transaction, the management team welcomes Christophe Caillaud who becomes President of the company after having acquired a successful experience in the luxury industry.
Created in Paris in 1986, the Company Christian Liaigre is active in two complementary businesses: the conception of interior architecture projects and the production of exclusive furniture. Recognised worldwide the agency designs the interior of private homes, yachts and selected public areas. The company has developed its own showrooms in Paris, London, and through partnerships (for instance in the USA) to present its furniture collections. The company is a member of the Comité Colbert (the French Luxury Board) since 2004. The company has built its success through the rigour of its aesthetic choices, the exceptional furniture presented in the showrooms and the exclusive character of its projects.
After more than twenty years of development which have shown Christian Liaigre confirming itself as one of the most influent designers of its times and also confirming the durability of the brand on the international level, Christian Liaigre and his wife Deborah have decided to enter into partnership with EDRCP which has in the past assisted family companies set up by exceptional creators, in their successful international development.
The project proposed by ERDCP has convinced Christian Liaigre. The aim of the project is to consolidate the international reputation of the brand by opening up further showrooms in foreign countries.
