Avignon Kitchen Mouvement
The love of wood and design for 3 generations
1985 – 2024
1985, 1er showroom Mouvement
opened in 1985 in Avignon by Philippe and Jacqueline Bernard, it is in the 1930s that we must look for the origins of the family passion for wood and high-end furniture: salesman in several furniture boutiques in the very famous Faubourg St Antoine in Paris, Pierre Bernard, father of Philippe, had already acquired solid experience before returning to settle in the South, where he was from.
Philippe and Jacqueline Bernard open the first Mouvement Place Crillon store, offering Avignon residents a hitherto unique offering, mixing kitchens from very contemporary high-end brands and designer furniture.
1998, Stéphane and his wife Valérie
Both passionate about design and interior architecture, took over and developed the family business. At the same time, they decided to created a manufacturing workshop in Gard. From then on, Mouvement designed and produced its own models.
Today
Mouvement employs 20 employees on its various sites, combining design and tradition with talent: 6 designers, 4 fitters, 3 salespeople and 7 cabinetmakers.
Simplicity, aesthetics and harmony
Imagining bold shapes, designing personalized solutions, selecting the most beautiful materials… we make it a point of honor to respect the character of each place. Because a kitchen, a dining area or a bedroom are the privileged spaces of a house, we take care to combine functionality and respect for the way of life of the people who live there.
To reinvent these living spaces, the rule that Movement has imposed is that of simplicity, aesthetics and harmony: taking your needs into account, listening to your desires, taste for detail… everything is said , no need for anything superfluous.
Knowing how to bring the intimate spaces of the house to life together, imagining shapes, assembling raw or elaborate materials, while respecting the profession, is the role that we play, at the forefront of design and tradition. Together we work on it, from the outline of your project to its completion.
