Upholding an unparalleled commitment to creative imagination and quality execution, François & Co. promises to inspire, collaborate and create heritage pieces for timeless spaces, acting as a true Design Resource for both client and professional, with no project, client or idea too grand.
With humble beginnings in 1997 under the name Stone Age Designs, founder Thierry Francois began crafting original, hand-laid Scagliola mantels and selling them around Atlanta. What started as a grassroots design mission soon grew into something much bigger.
Over the years, our vision has been shaped not just by Thierry’s vision, but by the exceptional people who bring it to life. Our distinguished design consultants translate dreams into reality with creativity and care. Our skilled artisans and craftspeople in the Scagliola, and metal workshops pour decades of expertise into every detail. Our purchasing team partners with the finest factories and experts across Europe, fostering long-standing relationships that allow us to source the world’s most exquisite wood and stone—and deliver them directly to your doorstep. Our operations team ensures that every order, every delivery, and every client interaction reflects the same dedication to excellence that inspired our first mantel.
Today, twenty-five years later, we remain committed to honoring centuries-old artisan traditions while embracing innovative design. It is our people—their passion, skill, and relentless pursuit of beauty—that have made our name synonymous with unparalleled craftsmanship and distinctive design. From concept to completion, they are the reason our story continues to be written.
