Atelier Emmaüs

The Emmaus Workshop is a structure of the Emmaus movement specialising in training and professional integration through crafts and design. Our aim: to enhance the value of materials while valuing people. Our entire range of signature objects is designed by designers and manufactured in our workshop-school in Lyon, from materials diverted from waste: old solid wood window frames taken from deconstruction sites, chipboard panels decommissioned by industry or even scraps of frames or scenography from craft workshops. Our cabinetmakers accompany artisans-learners during 30-day training-production sessions during which they are taught the gestures and skills needed to make furniture. We are a furniture publisher and a layout manufacturer, working with passion for an inclusive and resource-efficient society.
