Lemieux et Cie was founded in 2020 by designer, author, and entrepreneur Christiane Lemieux as a return to meaning in design. After decades of building some of the most innovative home brands, including DwellStudio and The Inside, Christiane created Lemieux et Cie to embody her deepest values: provenance, craftsmanship, and the enduring beauty of thoughtful interiors.
Shaped by a French-Canadian upbringing, global travels, and a lifelong study of art and design history, Christiane brings an editorial eye to every collection. From the restraint of Jean-Michel Frank to the warmth of Børge Mogensen, from ateliers in Saigon to rug weavers in Jaipur, every piece carries cultural lineage and narrative depth.
At its core, Lemieux et Cie is not trend-driven, but human-driven. Each piece is created by artisans, not algorithms. Designed to be lived with, collected, and passed down. These are heirloom objects meant for future auction houses, not disposal.
