    Who are we ?

    Since 2010, I’ve been dedicated to source decorative pieces of the XXth century antiques. The appeal of an infinite journey to an unknown yet graal is what gets me up in the morning, and sometimes before that, what gives me the energy to roam endless highways, from Denmark to Italy, learning from worldwide peers about local design history or techniques, looking for special items, high craftmanship or just beauty. Beauty in forms, beauty in functionality, beauty in innovation, beauty in techniques. The XXth century is special in the way that it allowed the freest mind to create what was impossible before. Industrialization has been the catalyst of this creative effervescence, tubular steel we’ve bended, plastic we’ve molded, forms we’ve explored. Alongside modern art, design has been the vector of human freedom to create in the span of a century.

    From Art Deco to Space Age design, from Dessau to Chandigarh, here at Galerie Marel we set no boundaries and even though most of my knowledges are on the XXth century, I’m thirsty for discoveries from other era as well

    After more than 13 years learning, buying, restoring, selling in Lille first then Bruxelles, I founded Galerie Marel when I got back in France, in Bordeaux, and decided that quality over quantity would be my mantra for years to come.

    I sincerely hope you will enjoy my curated selection as much as I do, and that you will find a piece to suit your interior.

    I’m very glad you are here, welcome to Galerie Marel.
