Robert Guillerme studied design and architecture at the Ecole Boule and graduated first in his promotion in 1934. During this time, Jacques Chambron graduated from the School of Applied Arts in Reims. During World War II, the two men met in a stalag, a Prussian prison camp, while imprisoned by the Germans in East Prussia, and formed a great friendship based on their intense and deep passion for the interior decoration. In 1948, Chambron resigned from his job as a painter and decorator rue Nollet in Paris to settle in Lille, in the North of France and join Guillerme. A year later, the two men met cabinetmaker Émile Dariosecq, owner of a nearby workshop. It was during this meeting that they decided to start their own business. They called it "Your House", which became the soul of the company. They wanted to create pieces focused on functionality combined with a beautiful design that is useful in everyday life, which has earned them a worldwide reputation. Most of the furniture designed by this duo has a strong character and very expressive woodwork. All three divided the work equally. Overall, Guillerme worked as a designer, Chambron as a salesman, and Dariosecq's workshop manufactured the parts. Throughout its career, "Votre Maison" has produced more than two thousand models, leaving a lasting mark in the world of design.
