The first originality of the House of Jansen was to produce two completely different styles of furniture at the same time.
It was to take a very close interest in traditional furniture, seeking to provide exact copies of 19th and 18th century furniture. 
She bought numerous antiques on the market and gradually built up an impressive bank of archive images to satisfy her ambitions for veracity.

At the same time, she also created more contemporary pieces, which combined "historicist" forms but redesigned them for a more contemporary use, taking into account the different fashions that followed from the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century, including the Turkish style, Japonism, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and modern art.

The company does not hesitate to collaborate with independent contemporary craftsmen, such as the cabinetmaker François Linke, Joseph Emmanuel Zwiener or Jean-Michel Frank for the creation of unique pieces for special orders or specific exhibitions.
