HERVET Manufacturier is the sum of the know-how acquired and transmitted over more than four generations. This family from Normandy has been able to transmit its know-how and its passion for woodworking from generation to generation. A legacy that has been enriched and refined over time to achieve excellence.
Being young, the two cousins Hervet, Cédric (1974) and Nicolas (1976), already inseparable and creatives, began to make their own furniture. Then they mastered by taking different paths in life, a means for everyone to assert themselves and to accomplish themselves into the Hervet line. Honored by the industry and distinguished on numerous occasions for his work, Nicolas remained in his core business. After the Boulle School of Applied Arts in Paris Cédric took time to distance himself from the wood industry to get closer to the world of music and develop his creative vision as Creative Director for Daft Punk. In 2008, Nicolas designed an exceptional desk for his cousin, the founding piece, the starting point of the adventure.
At that time Cédric Hervet needed a quality, ergonomic and elegant piece of furniture for his post production works, especially with the legendary robots duet. This unique piece reflects the perfect collaboration between the two men. It was the trigger. From this master piece was born the idea of HERVET Manufacturier. By using this signature that now the two Hervet cousins design furniture under meticulous respect for the traditional techniques of carpentry, cabinetmaking, marquetry and upholstery, using with measure what the planet earth offers as the most beautiful and durable: exotic woods, fine quality leathers, metals...
HERVET Manufacturier creates and manufactures, under reasonable quantities, furniture and decorative objects, inimitable design, influenced by the visions of anticipation of the previous century. Creations that write step by step the vision of an ideal world, projected in an undetermined future time.

We want people to find and climb their mountains, so that they can know much more about the world and themselves.
Grivel was born in 1818 with the Grivel blacksmiths on the Italian side of the Mont Blanc, where it is still based today.
Today we are present in over 50 countries, where we export 90% of our products. At the same time, we maintain a small size and a family and pioneer spirit, faithful to the origins. For this reason, it is possible to define Grivel as a "pocket multinational".
