🎙 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 life
Source 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 responsibly
Key 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 generations
Isabelle 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.
