Het verhaal van Grange Furniture

The story of Grange Furniture

A French heritage that lives on

In 1904, in the rolling landscape near Lyon, a small workshop opened its doors. This is where the story of Grange Furniture began: not a factory, not mass production, but wood, hands, and time. What emerged then grew into one of the most respected French furniture houses, known for its craftsmanship, elegance, and unparalleled attention to detail.

From the very beginning, every piece of furniture at Grange was handcrafted. Generations of furniture makers worked according to age-old French techniques: solid wood, traditional joinery, hand-painted finishes, and carefully built patinas. Furniture that was not only beautiful but intended to last a lifetime—and often longer.

Craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation

For over a century, Grange remained true to its origins. Knowledge was not captured in machines but passed down from master to apprentice, from parent to child. Although the company changed ownership multiple times over the years, the core always remained the same: authentic French craftsmanship, produced in France, with respect for material and people.

Timeless designs with room for personality

Grange's style is unmistakably French: elegant, warm, and refined. Classic lines form the basis, but never rigid or old-fashioned. Every piece of furniture offered—and still offers—room for customization. Dimensions, colors, wood types, and finishes could be fully tailored to the customer's wishes. Sometimes an existing design was subtly adapted; sometimes a piece of furniture was created anew in close consultation.

Thus, each piece of furniture became unique, with its own character and story.

The end of an era in France

After more than 110 years of production, Grange's furniture production in France ended in 2018. The workshops closed their doors, marking the end of an impressive chapter in French furniture history. But the story itself was not yet fully told.

A new chapter through Smellink Interiors

The love for Grange did not disappear. On the contrary. Smellink Interiors, which had been closely connected to the brand for many years, decided to continue the heritage. The most beloved models and designs were given new life, retaining their original look, quality, and possibilities for customization and personalization.

Today, Grange's designs live on through Smellink Interiors—still with an eye for detail, sustainability, and craftsmanship. Furniture not made for trends, but for generations.

A heritage that endures

Grange is more than a name. It is a story of time, craftsmanship, and a love for making. A story that began in 1904, closed a chapter in 2018, but thanks to Smellink Interiors, is still being told—piece by piece.
