Everything starts with Forest

 

 

Charlois enhances the value of oak in all its forms, across Europe and the United States. From sustainable forest management to the crafting of high-end barrels, from structural timber and oak flooring to distinctive wooden constructions, from furniture to cosmetic active ingredients, every fiber finds its purpose. At the crossroads of artisanal excellence and innovation, Charlois embodies a complete, responsible ecosystem looking toward the future.

Who We Are

Sylvain Charlois

Founder
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer

“Since the mid-17th century, my family’s destiny has been intertwined with that of the forest and its king, the oak.”
What Defines Us

OUR MANIFESTO

The forest is a rare, slow-growing and precious resource. It is the result of generations of foresters’ dedication and care. All our houses practice complementary crafts rooted in a living heritage, carrying forward rare expertise. Our houses are devoted to elevating oak and enhancing it to its highest expression, in full respect of the forest.

Enhancing the Value of Oak

OUR CRAFTS

Our crafts span every stage of oak transformation.
They are dedicated to enhancing the value of the material. In our workshops as in the forest, every decision is guided by the oak – its rhythm, its rarity, its quality, and how best to elevate it.
