Our labels
"We are proud of having both the OFG label and the EPV label: they reward the faithfulness to our conviction of producing in France, and our knowhow developed and transmitted for more than 60 years with an increasingly demanding approach to quality"
An internationally recognised local approach
LAFUMA MOBILIER, which accompanied the country's great social and sporting triumphs of the last century, is settling further into French heritage and especially that of the Drôme. The brand, which has always selected vendors mostly located less than 150 km from the industrial base, is claiming its connection with the region and promoting the local art of living. This sustainable approach, which gives the brand its singular style, is bearing its fruits internationally, where LAFUMA MOBILIER has strongly increased its turnover in recent years.
