Works of Art Design and Reproduction Central

The location of the store is not ideal, but this hybrid place between designer store and art gallery is worth a visit. A real crossroads between small craftsmen/artists and the public of Tours, you will find original clothes, decorative objects and jewelry. A part of the space is reserved for the exhibition of contemporary artists' works. Shopping, culture, the place also offers lunchtime catering with simple and tasty recipes made with local, fresh and seasonal products.

François Gibierge has been perpetuating the tradition of the forge for three generations. In a few minutes, he will share his passion for the work of iron. As by magic, the simple piece of iron takes in its hands extraordinary shapes. Then appears an object of decorative or useful art: candleholder, chandeliers, ramps, windows. Many art restoration works only confirm his reputation as a great master. To give you an example: the inner grids of the Saint George Church of Paris earned him a silver medal from the Academy of Architecture. Geraldine Gibierge will guide you in the visit. The showroom has taken place in a pleasant water mill.

Patrick Mériguet is a recognized artist who has won numerous awards both in France and abroad. Whether in stainless steel or bronze, he can create a sign for a craftsman or a monumental ensemble for a traffic circle like the one at the entrance to the village. A jack-of-all-trades, he can create a comfortable steel armchair as well as a realistic or abstract sculpture that will be the soul of a park, the object that will symbolize a company or a personalized weathervane.
