Your interior in the hands of an artisan. Not a production line.

Sel d'Embrun was born from a passion for materials and a conviction that decoration can be spectacular, technically precise, and built to last. Based in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region, Camille transforms wood into metal, and ordinary spaces into unforgettable experiences.

Camille Marchand · Founder

Camille, artisan & founder

A passion for materials. A commitment to longevity.

Sel d'Embrun was born from a passion for materials and a conviction: that decoration can be spectacular, technically precise, and built to last. At the heart of the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region, Camille transforms wood into metal and ordinary spaces into unforgettable experiences.

After 16 years of practice and dozens of projects delivered to demanding restaurants, hotels, and private clients, the Sel d'Embrun signature has been forged around three principles: creativity without compromise, absolute technical mastery, and respect for your project as a one-of-a-kind work.

Every order passes personally through her hands. No subcontracting, no templates, no repetition. This is not a sales pitch: it is simply the only way to guarantee the standard of quality Camille has held herself to since day one.

The artisan's gesture

Every texture, every nuance of patina, every trace of ageing is applied by brush, one layer at a time.

Three principles, one signature

What sets an artisan apart from a manufacturer.

01

Absolute uniqueness

No two Sel d'Embrun pieces are alike. Every project starts from a blank page. Your space is your identity, and Camille translates it into material.

Technical mastery

Aesthetics without technique don't last. Every constraint is built into the design from day one: controlled weight, M1 fire-resistance certification, long-term durability.

The Riorges workshop

The place where wood becomes metal.

The Sel d'Embrun workshop is based in Riorges, in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region. This is where every piece is prepared, sanded, coated, and painted by hand, layer by layer, before being delivered or installed directly on your site. Because the quality of an illusion depends entirely on the quality of the gesture that creates it, no step is ever handed off to a third party.

One workshop, one artisan, one standard. Since 2010.

Shaped and patinated by hand in Riorges, since 2010.
