From its creation, Delisle put itself at the service of the most ambitious projects and worked for the Grand Duke Paul of Russia and other great aristocrats or European courts.
The Belle Epoque, Art Deco, the French creation of the 2nd part of the 20th century (Royère, Poillerat)… Delisle has gone through all these eras in collaboration with the greatest aesthetes.
Today, still installed in the historic district of the Marais, the house is managed by the 5th generation of the Delisle family. With an international commercial and creative background, Jean Delisle brings family know-how into the 21st century and perpetuates the tradition of dialogue with the times.
In order to create bronze or iron lighting and furniture, Delisle’s manufacturing workshop, located near Paris, relies on 10,000 drawings and 4,000 models and around fifteen craftsmen of the highest level of expertise.
This know-how and this permanent search for excellence are rewarded by the state label “Living Heritage Company” and the membership, rare in decoration, to the very exclusive club of French luxury companies, the Comité Colbert.
Delisle creations can be found in the most luxurious hotels in the world – the Four Seasons George V, the Ritz Paris, the Baur-au-Lac hotel in Zurich, the Four Seasons des Bergues in Geneva… – and in the private residences designed by the greatest decorators in Russia, the United States, Switzerland and even the Middle East (Juan-Pablo Molyneux, Pierre-Yves Rochon, etc.).
Delisle also mobilizes its archives and ancestral know-how for large-scale public projects such as the Bourse de Commerce-Collection Pinault, the Château de Versailles (chandeliers from the opera of Versailles and the Grand Trianon), the Comédie Française, the Invalides.
Delisle develops exceptional collections with the most talented designers:
• Eric Schmitt, Beffroi collection – The designer took the iron and bronze craftsman into his contemporary world where the pure and silent lines are complemented by the refined textures of the worked materials.
• Jean-Michel Wilmotte, Versailles collection – Resolutely contemporary and timeless, Versailles highlights are elegance and pure and frank lines.
• Lalique, Ginkgo collection – Ginkgo, Eastern sacred tree, symbol of prosperity is the result of a work between bronze and crystal
• Nicolas Aubagnac, Papyrus collection – Papyrus is the marriage of modernity and minimalistic forms. The cone is the symbol of the collection.
• Elliott Barnes, Poinciana collection – Held in levitation by a burned bronze frame, hammered or patinated, Poinciana also offers a serie of designs sheathed in leather.
• Jean-Michel Delisle, Tribute to Mackintosh collection – Cultural link between the two most emblematic decorative universes of first half of the 20th century, this collection has as an ambition to be a bridge between modernity of the interiors of today and Art Deco.
