Maison Jansen was a French interior design company based in Paris, founded by Dutchman Jean-Henri Jansen. It was one of the first truly global design firms. Maison Jansen combined traditional furniture with new trends. In the 1890s, the company established its own workshop to produce contemporary furniture designs and reproductions, such as Louis XIV, Louis XVI, Directoire, and Empire styles. Their admiration for past styles is also evident in their involvement in buying and selling antiques, opening a separate branch dedicated exclusively to European antiques.
In the 1920s, Jean-Henri Jansen invited Stéphane Boudin to join the company. Boudin became the director and expanded the scope of the business. Under his leadership, Maison Jansen collaborated with influential clients, including royal families from Belgium, Iran, and Serbia, as well as undertaking projects in the White House in the USA during John F. Kennedy’s administration. After Boudin’s death in 1967, Pierre Delbée took over the management of the company. Maison Jansen changed ownership in 1979 and finally closed its doors in 1989.
