I'm looking for items for a museum gift store

I am in charge of a boutique, a museum gift shop, and I am looking for original products made within the European Union

One of our activities indeed focuses on providing original products to museum gift stores. We offer a customized selection that is likely to catch the eye of your visitors.

Our flagship product is bookends. Museum gift shops offer a wide and eclectic range of books and fine works to extend visitors' cultural experience beyond the galleries. It turns out that the selection of bookends is quite poor, which is why we are able to offer the production of metal bookends whose themes draw inspiration from the themes and artworks exhibited. Beyond their function as simple book supports, bookends are fully decorative items that, showcased in the library, on a shelf, or on a dresser, reflect an aspect of the reader's personality, their interest in culture, and their attraction to the arts.

Our bookends are designed by myself, a French creator, and manufactured in Poland, where I reside, within the European Union.

What specific offerings can you provide ?

While bookends serve a decorative purpose, they are still products sold and displayed in your boutique. They should reflect the image of the visited museum through selected works favored by visitors. We work with you to explore creation possibilities inspired by the museum's exhibited works and offer initial sketches or prototypes. The edges of our bookends, the part in contact with the books, can be customized with specific shapes or logos, depending on the possibilities. Our bookends are presented in quality product boxes. Our creation process is based on dialogue to submit a creation faithful to your expectations.

What are the ordering and manufacturing conditions ?

There are no special conditions. Even though laser cutting on metal is carried out on high-tech industrial machines, designs and manufacturing can involve small series at very affordable prices. Hence, the interest in being able to offer your visitors personalized thematic bookends.

What is the environmental impact of your creations ?

The bookends are made from steel plates, so it is a 100% recyclable material.
The painting process is done by a powder coating paint method, which involves depositing pigments and fixing them after passing through an oven. These pigments are presented in the form of a thermosetting powder that contains no solvents or any toxic compounds.

As for the product boxes, they are 100% recyclable or reusable by the buyer, including our transport cartons.

And for transportation ?

We use the services of international carriers at equally very affordable rates. Generally, for quantities less than about 200 units, we ship our creations in cartons. Beyond that, deliveries are made by pallets. Depending on the size of your boutique, it could be a shipment of one or two cartons; there are no constraints.

What are your references ?

We work with numerous museum boutiques, in Poland, Austria, and France, where our main client is the public cultural institution Réunion des Musées Nationaux-Grand Palais for whom we provide an original collection of bookends for the boutiques of the Louvre Museum, the most visited museum in the world.

Our creations are invoiced excluding taxes if you have an intra-community VAT number.
