About Lemieux Et Cie
History
Born from History. Designed for Legacy.
Lemieux et Cie was founded in 2020 by designer, author, and entrepreneur Christiane Lemieux as a return to meaning in design. After decades of building some of the most innovative home brands, including DwellStudio and The Inside, Christiane created Lemieux et Cie to embody her deepest values: provenance, craftsmanship, and the enduring beauty of thoughtful interiors.
Shaped by a French-Canadian upbringing, global travels, and a lifelong study of art and design history, Christiane brings an editorial eye to every collection. From the restraint of Jean-Michel Frank to the warmth of Børge Mogensen, from ateliers in Saigon to rug weavers in Jaipur, every piece carries cultural lineage and narrative depth.
At its core, Lemieux et Cie is not trend-driven, but human-driven. Each piece is created by artisans, not algorithms. Designed to be lived with, collected, and passed down. These are heirloom objects meant for future auction houses, not disposal.
With a flagship showroom on Crosby Street in SoHo, New York, and an expanding global presence, Lemieux et Cie is building a heritage identity. A modern maison that exists for the collector, the aesthete, and the client who sees beauty as a form of care.
Heritage-minded. Artisan-made. Built to last.
About Christiane Lemieux
Christiane Lemieux is a designer, entrepreneur, investor and best-selling author. She introduced Lemieux et Cie, her newest luxury home furnishings brand, to the United States in 2020. Previously only available in Europe, the line is now online and in 180 design retail boutiques in the U.S. and Canada, with an exclusive collection that debuted at Anthropologie in September 2021.
Prior to launching Lemieux et Cie, she founded several other successful brands in the home design space, including DwellStudio, which was bought by Wayfair in 2013; The Inside, a direct-to-consumer technology-driven home furnishings brand, where she also served as CEO; and Cloth & Company a wholesale, made-on-demand home furnishings brand. She is also an active investor in the Consumer and Tech sectors, with a focus on female founders, inclusivity and diversity.
A product designer, serial entrepreneur and design historian, Christiane is a frequent contributor to publications such as Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Wired and The New York Times. Her first book, Undecorate (Random House/Clarkson Potter), was met with critical acclaim in 2011. Her second book, The Finer Things (Random House/Clarkson Potter), was published in 2016 and continues to be a bestseller on Amazon. Her first business book, Frictionless, was published in June 2020 and shortlisted for the Porchlight Business Book of the Year. Expected in spring 2027, the book is an encyclopedia of furniture design and a successor to The Finer Things. It distills decades of research to show what makes certain pieces truly important. Christiane was also the co-host and a judge on Ellen’s Design Challenge on HGTV and is a regular guest on MSNBC.
Recent accolades include being listed among House Beautiful’s 2020 Visionaries and Fast Company’s 2020 Most Innovative.
Christiane serves on the board of Every Mother Counts, a nonprofit founded by Christy Turlington Burns that works to make pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother, everywhere.
She is a proud graduate of Parsons School of Design and Queen’s University in Canada.
Christiane lives with her family in New York City.
