to generation, is carried on by men and women
who are passionate about, and proud of, a demanding craft where the hand guides the
material with precision, exacting standards and elegance.
1968 – The genesis of l’Atelier
Atelier Sedap was founded in 1968 by Charles Bohu. At the time, Sedap was a family-run manufacturer of decorative staff elements, with a production plant in La Planche, near Nantes.
1982 – Gypsum and Light
In the 1980s, the company took a new direction. Benoît Bohu, son of the founder, joins the adventure and develops an innovative concept: combining staff with light to offer a new type of lighting solution.
