A nomadic life, made to measure.
Van and truck conversions. Tiny house building. Caravan restoration. Custom furniture and interior design.
Small spaces have always inspired us. They are everywhere: the tiny attic room, the studio flat, the cabin, the caravan, the tiny house, the converted van, the camper… Whether out of necessity or for the joy of travelling, these spaces are part of everyday life, and they carry our future memories.
For us, they are an endless playground where we express our imagination and creativity, by recycling materials and giving objects a new purpose.
That is how we create one-of-a-kind pieces that truly suit you.
Every project starts with a meeting, because every project is unique. We are lucky to have loyal clients who trust us with the design and layout of their projects. Even so, talking things through at the start is essential to make sure you are fully satisfied, and we keep in touch with you all the way through.
On the lookout for the unwanted, to make it desirable again.
Working in a reuse centre showed us just how many donations end up unused and forgotten. Old furniture may be too big or look old-fashioned for today’s homes, yet it bears the mark of skilled hands, with extraordinary ornaments and fine, durable wood. We felt it was our duty to give these pieces a longer life by reinventing them and building them into our creations.
Curves are our signature.
We draw our inspiration from art history and poetry, from Art Nouveau to the shapes of nature, without ever locking ourselves into one style. We don’t always work from plans: our hands do the talking, and the shape reveals itself as we go. We change course along the way, talking with you and adapting every curve to your needs and wishes. We dare to use colour and happily leave convention behind: bold shades, daring combinations, fabrics and paints chosen to make each space unique. The result: a cosy retreat, a made-to-measure nest that feels like you.
Tourism and other professionals, as well as private clients.
A few examples of our creations.
A whimsical, flea-market-inspired creation, built first and foremost around its antique glass canopy. Everything grew from there: a vaulted roof, a mezzanine whose timber frame draws graceful curves, and Art Nouveau-inspired decor with second-hand furniture and repurposed antique pieces.
A gentle tiny house, designed for a family looking for a countryside retreat.
A van fitted out like a nomadic living room, all wooden curves.
A clever, space-saving van conversion with plenty of storage, and a real personality, because beautiful can be practical too.
A van optimised down to the last inch: a bed, a sliding kitchen and made-to-measure drawers. Everything has its place.
Before: a cluttered van with bare panels. After: a cosy cocoon in soft aqua and pale wood, with an archway, a swivelling round table, a fold-down one, and a place for everything.
A caravan restored for a campsite, to awaken a sweet nostalgia in everyone who stays there.
A lounge-and-office caravan for an equine therapist, designed to welcome families.
An unusual stopover, where the sea is reinvented in colour.
A world inspired by La Fontaine’s fables, for a quirky stay at a campsite in the Vendée.
A restored caravan, inspired by the charm of the 1960s.
Turquoise, celadon and flowers: a soft, cheerful palette for this caravan.
At the bottom of the garden, a retreat made of two caravans, one boho, one funky, linked by an outdoor living area with a kitchen, a compost toilet and a shower.
A terrace under a pergola, where raw wood, branches and vintage finds create an open-air room.
Dressed in pale wood with a coral handrail for a pocket square, Le Dandy climbs towards the light with the elegance of those who never walk in a straight line.
A bookcase that knows how to party: arches like a stage, purple string curtains like a cabaret, and a mirror ball to make every story sparkle.
Partners in creativity, always
MacDal Conception is the story of two children who shared their first art project at school, at the age of 14. Years later, our creative bond is still going strong, driven by the desire to imagine, transform and bring unique projects to life.
A third-generation carpenter who is also a piano maker. His mastery of wood and precision shows in every curve and every custom fitting.
A tourism professional and carpenter, Estelle leads the creative side: imagining the atmosphere, choosing materials and colours, and taking care of the details. Her hospitality background and love of handcraft help her design spaces that are both beautiful and lovely to live in.
