BUYING TRIPS
Discover the French market with a knowledgeable local partner.
Atelier Kardès develops private buying itineraries for interior designers, collectors and private clients, shaped around your interests, projects and schedule. From Provence to Paris, we arrange visits and introductions, offer buying guidance and coordinate what happens after you choose a piece.
A Trip Built Around You
A focused search for a project, a visit to regional markets or time exploring unfamiliar sources — each itinerary begins with what you hope to find.
We research relevant dealers, galleries, specialist merchants, architectural salvage and private sources, arranging appointments where appropriate. Your trip can also include Maison&Objet, other design fairs, exhibitions, gallery openings and visits to artisan studios, according to your interests and the event calendar.
Atelier Kardès helps coordinate access, introductions and local arrangements, making it easier to navigate unfamiliar venues and attend appointments that can be difficult to organize from abroad.
Before, During and After Your Trip
Share your dates, references, priorities and buying budget. We develop an itinerary and agree on the arrangements before your arrival.
During the trip, we help with introductions, translation, evaluation and purchase coordination. Once you return home, we can continue managing collection, specialist work, consolidation and international shipping in France.
