Manufacture des Emaux de Longwy, the Creative Spark
Since 1798, designers have been making their way to the Lorraine workshops of the Manufacture des Emaux de Longwy. And the creative spark is still firing to this day !
A pottery works implanted in Lorraine for generations, the Manufacture des Emaux de Longwy continues a tradition of unique craftsmanship, which has made it an example of the heights reached by the French art of living. The factory, based in a former convent, has been honoured since the period of the First Empire. Napoleon himself ordered the table service for the Imperial Houses of the Legion of Honour.
Permanent Creation at the Manufacture des Emaux de Longwy
Today, many designers participate in launching the new collections : Garouste and Bonetti, Hilton Mc Conico, Anne Marie Beretta, Régis Dho, Casenove, Jean Boggio and Vincent Darré bring their creativity to the historic brand. They revisit, each in their own way, the artistic renewal of the famed globes, the « Colonial Balls ». These made a worldwide sensation of the Longwy pottery works at the Exposition of 1931.
