Dinner at the National Furniture Bringing French know-how to light

On June 3, 2026, the Réseau Excellence EPV Contract brought together in the prestigious National Furniture the major players of French excellence on the occasion of an evening marked by the sharing, innovation and influence of exceptional know-how. Labelled Enterprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV), architects, decorators, investors, buyers, prescribers and partners have come together around a common ambition: to promote French know-how in the markets of contract and hospitality, both in France and internationally.

A strategic alliance for French excellence

This meeting was marked by a very important time: the official signing of a strategic alliance between the French Furniture and the EPV Reseau Excellence Contract. Signed by Cathy Dufour, General Delegate of the Ammeublement Français, and Tristan De Witte, President of the EPV Réseau Excellence, in the presence of Hervé Lemoine, President of the Mobilier et Manufactures Nationale, this collaboration aims to strengthen the visibility and development of French companies in the contract markets.

This alliance is part of a common desire to unite the actors of the ecosystem, to foster collaborations and to create new business opportunities for French companies. It will include several joint actions starting in 2026, including a joint presence at the EquipHotel show in the Exclusive Collection dedicated to the premium and luxury universe of hospitality.

An exceptional ambassador

The EPV Réseau Excellence Contract also had the privilege of welcoming its Ambassador of Honour, Jean-Michel Wilmotte, a must-see figure in architecture and contemporary design. Its commitment to French creation, innovation and excellence is a source of inspiration for our entire ecosystem.

An evening hosted by committed partners

This event could not have been such a success without the commitment of partners who share our vision of the influence of French know-how:

  • FORMÆ, partner with the Réseau Excellence Contract.
  • A table art sublimated by the tablecloths designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte and made by Le Jacquard Français.
  • Elegantly made bags by Toiles de Mayenne, also signed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte.
  • Champagne Bollinger, partner of this evening dedicated to French excellence.
  • FAUCHON The Event, whose creations contributed to the art of receiving.

Building together the future of French know-how

Beyond the meetings and exchanges, this evening illustrated the strength of the collective and the ability of French companies to respond to contemporary market challenges through their unique know-how, creativity and quality requirements.

The Réseau Excellence Contract warmly thanks all the companies, prescribers, partners and guests present for their trust and commitment. Together, continue to create bridges, develop opportunities and wear the colors of French excellence.
