The Talks

Reissue: A Heritage, Cultural, and Creative gesture

Bringing to light, or back into the spotlight, forgotten pieces and design figures lies at the heart of reissuing. This practice, which has seen a  a strong surge in popularity, involves publishers, rights holders, and institutions. Together, they work to preserve the memory and legacy of designers and, in doing so, support contemporary creation by allowing the public to encounter exceptional furniture and objects, rescued from oblivion.

NEW YEAR ︱Source Édition sends you all its best wishes for 2026

NEW YEAR ︱Source Édition sends you all its best wishes for 2026

Dear design friends, 2026 opens like a blank page, with that thrill of new beginnings, when everything remains to be drawn. We wish you a wonderful year full of inspiration, ideas taking shape, projects coming to life, and new encounters. For us, 2025 will remain a founding year. A year when everything accelerated, when encounters mattered, when trust was built, step by step. In spring, in Milan, Source Édition took its first steps at Labo with the Mobilier National, then at Alcova, at the heart of the international design scene, a decisive moment, rich with attentive eyes and emerging connections. In the fall, in Paris! Still with the support of the Mobilier national, an essential partner in our approach, we presented Source Édition during Paris Design Week, through to the Heritage Days, a symbolic milestone, carrying what drives us: design as memory in motion. From August 30 to January 5, we had the privilege of launching our collection exclusively at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche, presented for sale for the first time. A precious recognition, and above all, the encounter with a wonderful audience. In October, a new page opened with the inauguration of our first Parisian showroom at 23 rue d'Aboukir, 75002 Paris. A space designed to see, exchange, welcome, and get closer to the pieces and their stories, with all design lovers. And 2026 is already starting in motion! On January 14, we are delighted to welcome Maison Parisienne to our showroom as guest gallery. In resonance with Source Édition's values, Maison Parisienne highlights French craftsmanship and contemporary creation. On this occasion, we are pleased to present two artists we admire: Aurélie Mathigot, photographer and visual artist, with her series Paysages vus du train. She pursues work around the image, seeking to give it new depth, through texture, through material. And Zoé Ouvrier: for more than twenty years, she has questioned and denounced the imbalance of human impact and its uprooting, through her works Solo and Assis, presented in our showroom. This first year has been intense, sometimes dizzying, always deeply collective and joyful. Nothing would have been possible without the trust of the designers, the rights holders, the formidable team at the Mobilier National, our press agency 14 Septembre, our partners, collectors, our team, and all those who have accompanied us from the beginning. Thank you for your curiosity, your attention, and your support, and we look forward to seeing you very soon at 23 rue d'Aboukir, 75002 Paris. Wishing you a wonderful year 2026, Joséphine & Isabelle

🎙 Podcast – Source Édition on Décodeur Between heritage, transmission, and contemporary creation A heartfelt thank you to Hortense Leduc, host of the Décodeur podcast, for her invitation and the depth of this conversation. In this episode, we talk about the origins of Source Édition, our commitment to faithfully reissuing 20th-century design icons, and our vision of a sustainable, European-made design. “It’s not because Joséphine is my daughter that we created Source Édition. If she hadn’t reached that level of excellence, I’m not sure I would have started,”— Isabelle de Ponfilly, during the episode. 🎧 In this episode: •⁠  ⁠Bringing 20th-century design icons back to lifeSource Édition does not create new shapes — it reissues emblematic pieces from the 1950s to 1970s. Each re-edition is the result of meticulous archival research and close dialogue with the original designers or their heirs, to preserve the spirit, materials, and craftsmanship of each piece. •⁠  ⁠Preserve, transmit, and produce responsiblyKey themes explored in the episode include:– safeguarding design heritage,– ensuring 100% European and sustainable manufacturing,– fighting counterfeits and design copies,– and building a long-term vision beyond trends. •⁠  ⁠A dialogue between generationsIsabelle brings decades of experience in the design industry. Joséphine adds a contemporary and curatorial perspective. Together, they form a complementary duo bridging past and future. ▶️ Listen to the episode  Available now on Décodeur → Play the podcast
