Ateliers De France Showcases French Artisan Heritage in Miami During Art Basel Week

Ateliers De France will present an evening of live craftsmanship demonstrations at Moxy Miami Wynwood on December 4, 2025, marking a strategic expansion of the collective's presence in South Florida. The event coincides with Art Basel Miami and offers attendees a close view of traditional techniques practiced by some of France’s most respected ateliers.

The gathering will highlight work from multiple maisons representing disciplines such as joinery, stone and marble applications, decorative plaster, lighting, ironwork, parquet, and specialty finishes. Participating groups include Atelier de la Boiserie, Ateliers Perrault, Baguès – Bronzes de France, Rémy Garnier, Ateliers VLD, Del Boca, EDM, Atelier Premiere, Cyprès Lessols, ADF USA, and 6ixtes. Guests will observe methods that have shaped projects ranging from the Palace of Versailles and the Oval Office to private commissions around the world.

A representative of the collective notes that Miami’s expanding luxury residential and hospitality markets—combined with its global cultural mix—make it a logical location for deeper investment. The group’s artisans maintain techniques dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, with expertise in trades such as gold leafing, masonry, wood and marble sculpting, decorative plaster, bronze casting, architectural millwork, and trompe-l’oeil painting.

Ateliers De France currently encompasses 55 maisons and more than 3,050 employees across 15 countries, with revenues of $811 million reported in 2024. The expansion builds on the success of the group’s New York studio in the D&D Building, reinforcing its ability to serve clients throughout the Southeast, Caribbean, and Latin America.

The event is invitation-only. Additional updates can be found on the group’s Instagram.
