Slatted Bench

Founded by Thierry Lamoine, the gallery reflects a lifetime dedicated to mid-century French design.

His passion began in his early twenties, when he spent his first salary on a Jean Prouvé Standard Chair—an act that ignited over 40 years of collecting and research. With an instinct for discovering rare and remarkable pieces, and experience gained both managing Hakuhodo in Paris for 15 years and working in the fashion industry, Thierry is sought after by discerning collectors around the world who value his expertise in sourcing exceptional finds.  His connection with Japan deepened his respect for craftsmanship and the care given to fine objects, making Galerie One a natural home for vintage design.

After working at Idée with Kurosaki Teruo in her 20s, Arrow Nakajima’s appreciation for design and craftsmanship grew into a deep affection for vintage furniture, finding beauty in the soft patina, the natural patterns of the wood, and the subtle marks left by time. She believes that every piece has a soul and tells its own unique story.

With Galeries in both Paris and Kamakura, Galerie One presents museum-quality furniture by Jean Prouvé, Pierre Jeanneret, Charlotte Perriand, Mathieu Matégot, Isamu Noguchi, Roger Capron, and other design icons, alongside collaborations with esteemed contemporary galleries.

Each piece at Galerie One is chosen for its craftsmanship, story, and soul - offering collectors the opportunity to discover objects with rich histories and lasting appeal.
