IN A FEW WORDS...
Home > Who we are ?
Founded in 1986, the Galerie des Lyons is a family business, originally an art gallery, it has since diversified with the new generation represented by Benjamin des Lyons and Laure Mutti des Lyons. This young couple felt in love with the region of Puglia and decided to open a shop of decorative objects to highlight this Italian region through collections of tableware, lighting, household linen, carpets and home fragrances.
The Galerie des Lyons works with local artists and craftsmen that transmit their art and know-how from generation to generation. The selected artists and craftsmen give a new breath to ceramics as well as a modern impetus to the traditions of Puglia. More than decorative objects, it is art, a part of tradition and history of Puglia to discover by visiting the Galerie des Lyons.
In addition to being a Gallery offering unique collections and pieces, it is also a showroom that puts the spotlight on «tailor-made» services in order to stick to the tastes and decorative inspirations of erveryone.
" in fashion as in interior decoration, you have to know how to combine materials, shapes, colors, skilfully mixing genres for a unique result ". Laure Mutti des Lyons
" This project was born out of great encounters which also allow us to rub shoulders in a very concrete way with the world of craftsmen, and more broadly with art. We hope to take advantage of this fabulous opportunity to set foot in the stirrup and develop through our own collections. It's a childhood dream that is about to become a reality . " Benjamin des Lyons
