French Heritage — Atelier Funfrock

· Restoration craftsman

For the heritage of France.

Among the references that turn to the atelier, we are proud to count buildings listed as national monuments and historic monuments.

Thanks to deep experience in restoration and the knowledge of traditional methods, the atelier intervenes on public works according to the rules of the art — and advises on the research of historic fabrics. Scalloped draperies, Venetian sheers, tiebacks, lambrequins and other window dressings, recreated to bring back the look of an era or to weave new combinations within the respect of conservation.

Period chairs restored to honour the original style; wall hangings renovated, or made new to your specifications. A harmonious whole, respectful of the work — and of the hand that first set it.

· A meticulous scenic layout

The vocabulary of the stage.

Every showroom asks for a functional, meticulous staging. To compose the perfect stage, the atelier designs and installs the full grammar of theatrical drapery — Greek or German-style stage curtains, proscenium and backdrop curtains, lambrequins, friezes, pendrillons, lamés, tulles, drapes and festoons.

Patiences operated electrically or by hand; stretched fabric walls and ceilings. A unique stage layout, opened up to infinite possibilities — and engineered for the weight of velvet, night after night.

· The velvets of the stage

Three weights, three weaves.

For stage drapery, three velvets — each chosen by the architecture it dresses, by the acoustics it carries, and by the regulations it must meet.

· I

Cotton velvet

100% cotton velvet — in the weight and the colour of your choice. The classical material of historic theatres, supple and absorbent, dressed to specification.

Bespoke weight & colour

· II

Mohair velvet

High-quality mohair velvet, long-lasting and robust — ideal for large theatres, thanks to its acoustic qualities and its clarity of colour. The premium choice for ambitious halls.

Acoustic-grade · colour-clear

· III

Polyester velvet

100% Trevira CS polyester velour — inherently flame-retardant, highly resistant to weathering and prolonged storage. The engineering material of touring stages and regulated venues.

Beyond prestigious buildings, the atelier is passionate about working with local authorities of all kinds. The craftspeople accompany hospitals, retirement homes, government agencies and schools through their decorating and furnishing projects.
