FROM OUR WORKSHOP IN ANDUZE TO THE ÉLYSÉE PALACE: THE AIGOUAL CHAIR SELECTED TO REPRESENT THE GARD REGION
Designed and manufactured in Anduze, in the Gard department of southern France, the Aigoual ergonomic chair has been selected for the sixth edition of the Grande Exposition du Fabriqué en France (Great Exhibition of French-Made Products). On 21 and 22 November 2026, it will be showcased at the Élysée Palace in Paris, alongside 103 other products chosen to celebrate the diversity of French craftsmanship and manufacturing expertise. This recognition is a tribute not only to the chair itself, but above all to the women and men who bring it to life.
First held in 2020, the exhibition celebrates the diversity of French industrial and artisanal production. For its sixth edition, 104 products were selected following a regional selection process and a national assessment, which considered criteria including their origin. The Aigoual chair will proudly represent the Gard department at the Élysée Palace on 21 and 22 November.
A chair that stands out in both design and comfort
Some products embody far more than their primary function. The Aigoual chair is one of them. Behind its distinctive design and extensive customisation options lie industrial expertise, exacting manufacturing standards and deep roots in the Cévennes region.
With over 500 possible configurations, the Aigoual offers exceptional flexibility to suit a wide range of individual needs and working environments. Its wraparound backrest, pneumatic lumbar support, adjustable headrest, 4D armrests and sprung seat combine to deliver support, comfort and freedom of movement.
Its offset tilt mechanism adapts naturally to changes in posture, while its extensive adjustment options allow users to fine-tune their seating position. Across our entire chair range, we favour locally sourced materials and carefully crafted finishes, reflecting our commitment to French manufacturing expertise.
A second appearance at the Élysée Palace
This is not the first time we have been selected for the Grande Exposition du Fabriqué en France. In 2020, our parent company, ErgoSanté, was chosen to take part in the inaugural edition. Six years later, we are particularly proud to return and see the work of our teams recognised once again.
This participation also gives us an opportunity to showcase our industrial model, where manufacturing excellence goes hand in hand with workplace inclusion.
