La Petite Centrale

As a multi-brand commercial agency with over 20 years of experience on the French gift, design and decoration market, we love launching new brands on the French market and help them build a solid constituency of clients through custom tailored support, strategic advice and tradeshow representation. THE FRENCH MARKET The French spend an average of €15 billion euros a year on furniture, décor and gifts, but this doesn’t mean it’s an easy market to break into – it’s one of the most saturated markets in the world. Making it here requires a unique savoir faire for local marketing as well as strong local relationships, both of which we help our brands develop. To facilitate this, we have grown our retailer database to include clients ranging from the most prominent concept stores in Paris to retail chains and gift shops all over France OUR APPROACH We believe that the best designs tell a story worth hearing and we actively seek partnerships with designers and brands who share this philosophy. After all, authenticity is key to standing out on the unique French market. We know this because of our background as business owners – before launching LPC, we ran 3 concept stores in Paris. We wore the buyer’s shoes for 12 years and know what it takes to catch people’s attention in France. Twice a year, we also represent our partners’ collections at the internationally renowned design fair Maison & Objet in Paris where our staff speak fluent French, English, German, Spanish, Italian and Swedish. This international exposure has led several of our brands to gain distribution and representation in new markets all over the world. We currently represent Bitten Design, CandleHand, CandleCan, CowParade, Jasmin Djerzic, Tassen by Fiftyeight Products and PO: Selected GET IN TOUCH If you are interested in being represented by the most dedicated commercial agency in France, we would be delighted to hear from you, we are always available for a chat.
