Pierre Frey SA is a French company specializing in interior design, established in 1935 by the designer Pierre Frey. This family-operated business creates and produces traditional French textiles, wallpapers, carpets, rugs, and furniture.
Founder
Born on 29 December 1903 in northern France, Pierre Frey began his career with tasks such as furniture polishing and working alongside a milliner. He later joined the textile firm Burger before moving on in 1932 to oversee operations at Lauer, a prominent fabric manufacturer.
Company history
During his tenure at Lauer, Frey convinced designer Jean Chatanay to collaborate with him in launching a new enterprise. Together, they founded the Pierre Frey brand in 1935.
Currently, Pierre Frey SA manages several brands including Pierre Frey, Braquenié, Boussac, Fadini Borghi, and Le Manach. Their portfolio features approximately 7,000 products ranging from traditional to modern aesthetics, incorporating creations from all affiliated brands. The company continues as a family business led by Pierre Frey’s son Patrick and grandsons Pierre, Vincent, and Matthieu Frey. In 2014, the firm partnered with artist Toxic to produce a limited edition collection.
Pierre Frey holds membership in the Comité Colbert.
