Comité Colbert : Henri SELMER Paris joins the most prestigious French houses
To promote the French art of living
Created in 1954, the Comité Colbert's mission is to promote French culture and the French art of living throughout the world. It organizes numerous events and collective manifestations abroad to promote French taste. The strength of this collective enables it to maintain solid contacts with local cultural and academic institutions, but also with decision-makers and politicians in many countries. It can thus act with the public authorities on the opening of certain markets or against the scourge of counterfeiting.
Preserving know-how
The committee is engaged in various partnerships with art and design schools to support quality education and generate a pool of young talents. It thus promotes the preservation of artisan expertise and the intangible heritage it represents.
Carrying common values
The collective is also a platform for reflection, exchange of experiences and good practices concerning social, societal and environmental responsibility. The member houses set objectives around four values : demand, aesthetics, durability and respect.
