A French house dedicated to the art of entertaining
It all started when Françoise realized the appeal of a beautifully set paper table. She then opened a small decoration shop in Lyon city center, offering napkins, paper plates, candles, and packaging. The success was immediate, and in 1989, Françoise took over the Maison et Jardin gallery boutique, positioning herself in the high-end disposable market. Supported by her daughters for design and marketing, she decided to launch her own collection of paper napkins and founded the company Françoise PAVIOT in 1992.
“I believe our success is due to the excellent quality of the design, but also to the technical knowledge of paper that I have acquired.”
