The philosophy behind the success of this French brand is to always be unique and continue setting new trends!

Sentou was founded by Robert Sentou a furniture designer back in 1947. As well as opening his first store ‘Bois du Perigord’ he also modified creations made by some high – end designers.  Below we take a look at the legacy of this French design pioneer and some of Sentou’s new products.

He opened his first Paris store in 1977 in order to sell and distribute his furniture, which he did successfully. As the business developed he handed over the design control to Jacques Boisson a highly respected designer in 1986 in the hope of further development. Collaborations soon followed with other designers including Roger Fatus a respected interior designer. The business developed into mainly supplying industry professionals by promoting the products as designed by designers.
