In a move that brings French elegance and decades of design legacy to Indian homes, Gautier, the celebrated French furniture brand, has partnered with FranGlobal, the international business arm of Franchise India. This strategic collaboration will introduce dedicated Gautier Brand Corners in key Indian cities, offering consumers a refined European home interior experience rooted in timeless craftsmanship.
This partnership marks a pivotal moment in meeting the aspirations of a new generation of Indian consumers — urban, style-conscious, and quality-driven — who are moving beyond functional furniture to curated, expressive interiors. With a heritage anchored in French artistry, sustainable practices, and contemporary design, Gautier is uniquely positioned to resonate with discerning Indian families seeking to blend global aesthetics with everyday comfort.
These Gautier Corners draw directly from the brand’s deep-rooted design legacy, which began with children’s bedrooms in 1960 and evolved into a bold, sophisticated lifestyle offering. All furniture is designed and crafted in France, using 100% French wood sourced within 300 km of the production site, from 6,000 hectares of sustainably managed forests, supported by six long-standing forestry partners.
The Gautier Brand Corners will be visually distinguished by:
- Modular tall partition layoutsfeaturing base units and glazed panels
- Custom "Made in France" panelsand signature brand signage
- Rich interior finishes including Casamance and Arte wallpapers, along with exclusive paint tones such as Vert Galaneand Gris Istanbul
“Today’s Indian consumer appreciates not just the product, but the story, the soul, and the sustainability behind it. Gautier is the perfect fit for this new mindset,” said Valérie Soulard-Brin, International Sales Director at Gautier.
India’s growing appetite for premium home décor is driven by increased urbanization, global exposure, and a rising focus on wellness-oriented, functional spaces. Gautier’s design approach — globally inspired yet proudly Made in France — aligns perfectly with this evolving consumer sentiment.
Gaurav Marya, Chairman of Franchise India Group, added: “In Gautier, we’ve found a legacy of craftsmanship, sustainability, and human-centered design that aligns perfectly with the aspirations of modern Indian consumers. This is a strategic partnership built on shared values and complementary strengths. Gautier brings decades of global design excellence, while FranGlobal contributes deep-rooted market intelligence, retail infrastructure, and a strong franchise network across India.
Together, we aim to transform Indian homes into globally inspired spaces that reflect both personality and purpose. We’re not just building stores — we’re building a new design culture that will elevate how India lives, works, and relaxes at home.”
With over 120 stores across 40 countries, Gautier’s global design sensibility is now set to find a home in India — ushering in a new chapter in Indo-French retail and lifestyle collaboration.
