Romeo Paris
With styles ranging from mid-century modern and modern to Hollywood Regency and Louis XIV, Roméo Paris is renowned for its eclectic, opulent and original furniture designs.
Roméo Paris is the brainchild of Claude Dalle, a cabinetmaker, architect and influential figure in the world of Parisian interior design. After working in a warehouse, Dalle decided to produce his own line of furniture in the 1960s. Soon after, Dalle’s exquisite and sophisticated furniture — inspired by the styles of André-Charles Boulle and Louis XIV — garnered international attention and acclaim. It was then that Dalle founded Roméo Paris to produce furniture based on the principles of “extravagance, juxtaposition, eclecticism and French expertise.”
To fulfill Dalle’s vision of creating furniture that conveyed elegance and royal grandeur, the furniture house worked with luxury fabric manufacturers and houses such as Pierre Frey, Missoni, Versace, Houlès and Tassinari & Chatel.
Roméo Paris has collaborated with notable French designers, such as Jean Claude Mahey, to create both classic and contemporary pieces. During the 1970s, Mahey’s designs included crisp, white lacquered trunk end tables made with brass accents, chic and retro black lacquered cabinets, steel bouclé bar stools and wall mirrors framed with brass and black lacquer. Around this time, Roméo Paris was known for its sleek glass coffee tables featuring sculptural bases.
Throughout the 1980s, Roméo Paris produced “inclusion” table lamps made with lucite and embedded with materials like brass discs, colored stones, agates and translucent leaves. Its lighting designs also included a fashionable lacquered wood and plastic floor lamp, modeled after a lamp by Eugène Printz, which he designed for the 1937 Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques in Paris.
Today, Roméo Paris has a showroom in Paris — the Roméo Royal Gallery on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées — offering furniture prized by interior designers and collectors of luxury home decor. Its pieces have been featured in major publications, such as Vogue France, Architectural Digest, ELLE Decoration, Florida Design and Les Plus Beaux Intérieurs.
