In the world of reissued design furniture, authenticity is not optional. It is a promise. At Source Édition, every reissued piece, whether an iconic lounge chair, a modular coffee table or a 1970s light fixture, carries a laser-engraved aluminum plaque. This small but important detail reflects our commitment to transparency, traceability and respect for original design. The plaque certifies that you are buying a faithful reissue produced with the designer’s estate’s approval and according to original technical specifications. It is a true seal of authentic design and a long-term value for collectors, interior designers and design-conscious customers.
Each plaque features a unique number, ensuring full traceability. We can track the designer, the year of the original creation, the workshop where it was made and the materials used. This level of transparency is essential in the high-end furniture market, where provenance is key. For us, reissuing historical design pieces means nothing should be left to chance. The plaque makes this belief visible. Each piece has a story, a source and a soul, serving not only as proof of quality but also as a tribute to the original designer. It reminds us that this is not simply a copy but a heritage piece, revived with full respect for the creative vision and spirit of mid-century designers like Claude Courtecuisse, André Monpoix and Turenne Chevallereau.
For interior designers, boutique hotels and private clients, this plaque is also a mark of quality that adds depth, credibility and distinction to any project. It also reflects our commitment to ethical and sustainable design, local and responsible European production primarily in France and Italy, craftsmanship with noble materials and the cultural transmission of iconic 20th-century design. At Source Édition, each engraved plaque is more than a label. It is a promise to revive the masterpieces of the 1950s to 1970s with authenticity, integrity and care, offering furniture that is ready to begin a new chapter in your home or project.
