ABOUT Benoit de Langalerie

Formally trained as a cabinetmaker specialized in marquetry I’ve developed a soft spot for antique furniture and a passion for details.   I first started my career in France in 1999 and then moved to Switzerland before heading to Asia.    In 2005, I moved to China where I met my wife Lina and developed a deep interest for Chinese artisans and Asian culture.   I supplied the most prestigious luxury brands across Asia, Switzerland and France and with my team we became expert in making creative packaging, boxes, marquetry, humidors, cabinets, windows decorations, display furniture and shop.   I have worked with Hermes, Cartier, Chaumet, Philippe Starck, Eugene Brunelle, Shang Xia and so many others.   For 20 Years, I have created an amazing regional and worldwide network of creative talents and entrepreneurs; delivered hundred projects mainly focus on luxury market within more than 50 countries.   After 11 years in China, managing and leading large factories, developing design studios and sourcing offices I decided to move back to Burgundy to set up “Les Ateliers de Langalerie” and share my amazing experience and know how. ​ Benoit de Langalerie
