The French design duo Jacques Chambron (1914-2001) and Robert Guillerme (1913-1990) started their production after the war. 
Most of the furniture designed by this duo has a strong character and very expressive woodwork. 
The line of different furniture was manufactured in small series. They call their collection "Your House.

Boleslaw Danikowski (1928-1979) is a ceramist and sculptor.
After attending the Beaux-Arts in Lille, he practiced his craft as an art-ceramist in a small village in northern France.

A part of his production is integrated in the furniture of the decorator A. Guillerme (Your House). 
Independent and always inventive creator, he was followed by a faithful clientele and realized some public orders. He was also involved in photography during the last ten years of his life.
