PORTRAIT
It has now been ten years since we created the Pied de Poule brand, Pied de Poule graduated from ESAG Penninghen in graphic design for one of us and from ESAA Duperré in fashion design for the other.
Nothing very rational in the initial choice to do dishes, apart from our love of good food and big tables!
Pied de Poule above all a family story that reflects who we are and brings us together around our childhood memories spent on the Arcachon basin! We are first cousins and we both remember Paule Marrot tablecloths, red gingham napkins, Chinese porcelain tea sets, the "Choux" dinner service, and all the kitschy Portuguese pottery from our maternal grandmother Claudine!
Together, we co-create collections that revisit, divert and dust off the classics of tableware. Our creative choices are shared and thought out as a whole, like telling a story!
PHILOSOPHY
Today, no one can ignore the way of producing and every company has its responsibility whether it is small or large.
We have always produced a large part of our products in France. Our creations are the result of a very particular attention to the quality and origin of the materials.
Our Breton bowls are made by the Pornic earthenware factory in Brittany. Our wooden objects all come from sustainably managed local forests (PEFC certification) and are turned or cut in the Jura. Our Volatile pitchers are cast and produced by the Manufacture Royale de Saint Clément in the east of France, alongside big names such as Baccarat and Lunéville. Our Duralex nesting glasses are screen-printed in Mayenne.
In short, we love to look for and find local companies with artisanal and sometimes ancestral but also industrial know-how.
Objective 2021: Reduce our environmental impact as much as possible and move to zero plastic!
