Guy Degrenne quickly understands the potential of stainless steel and then embarks on a quest: rethink "les Arts de la Table" by democratizing goldsmithing.

During the 1980s, it expanded its know-how and acquired porcelain factories in Limoges and Alföld, Hungary, where the expert hands of craftsmen turned the factories with passion to create unique pieces.
Wishing to offer an offer adapted to each dish, the DEGRENNE House has also recently been enriched by a cutlery factory in Thiers, where it perpetuates a unique craftsmanship to craft knives with an irreproachable edge.
