“For 130 years, Jacob Delafon, a symbol of Parisian chic, has been changing the way we think about bathroom design around the world. We have been working on this critical area since 1889, creating our own style. We have come a long way from the very first victories at the World's Fair in 1889 to the opening of showrooms around the world - and now the French lifestyle has penetrated even the most remote corners of the planet.
For 130 years, Jacob Delafon has been transforming the bathroom space, combining more than a century of experience with the elements of French charm that make French women so attractive. The bathroom is a special place where elegance and audacity, authenticity and innovation meet in an intimate setting.
In the anniversary year 2019, we want to pay tribute to the French-style bathroom. We are inspired by the history of the brand and bring it to life in the new collections Odéon Rive Gauche (2020) and Nouvelle Vague (2019). Both collections are inspired by the retro style of Atelier Vintage ™ [1], one of the company's three design universes (the other two are Mechanic Chic ™ [2] and Classic Modernity ™ [3]).
Ahead of the fashion trends of its time, Jacob Delafon always skillfully combines elegance, audacity and authenticity. We are inspired by Paris, whose spirit and undeniable beauty are always present in our collections. Our philosophy is reflected in our motto: "Where elegance is born."
In the era of globalization, the spread of true French chic in the interior of the bathroom abroad is becoming a major challenge for us. More than 1,500 employees in offices in France, Russia, Morocco, Spain, as well as 1,400 showrooms with 3,500 products around the world have managed to achieve that at the moment 50% of our products are sold on the international market. Our goal is to increase this ratio by focusing on promising markets and strengthening the company's position in France. We are proud that this year we were able to enter new markets in Europe: in Germany and Austria."
