Three Seven Paris blends the heritage of French savoir-faire with a modern, self-taught, conscious, and competitive approach, redefining the art of table.
Our mission is to transcend the traditional essence associated with porcelaine. Since our inception in 2017, we have dedicated ourselves to crafting products with sleek, timeless designs, where each pattern, meticulously handmade line by line, enhances the very essence of form.
Our goal is to provide tableware that is not only aesthetically distinctive but also instantly recognizable. We are committed to elevating every dining experience, from the most vibrant vegetables to the simplest plate of pasta.
Our Belief: Three Seven Paris is driven by the belief that our tableware should inspire a sense of better and more beautiful eating. Our attention to detail extends to every aspect, ensuring a unique tactile experience - even the edges of our cups are delicately designed to make your coffee as exquisite as a fine wine in the most delicate of glasses.
Beyond functionality: we seek to evoke an emotion with each piece - an emotion felt when holding it in your hand, contemplating the material's delicacy and its shimmering brilliance.
What set us apart ?
The brand, the products
Unmistakably different.
Our product stands out from the competition with its distinct identity, offering a look and feel that's truly unique.
An empirical approach: With a clear vision of how I wanted my tableware to look, I developed my own manufacturing technique through empirical and intuitive methods. I envisioned lightweight tableware with soft, organic curves, free from embellishments. My intention was for the patterns alone to enhance their beauty.
A unique DNA: the ivory plate and the black line as our signature. I aimed for my tableware to enhance whatever we would place on it: hence the choice of ivory tableware, not white, and the anthracite line drawing, not black. It's like a green screen in movies: these are the two colors least encountered in food. The contrast between the plate and even the simplest tomato is instantly captivating.
The emotion behind the product: I wanted to depart from the rustic and dusty connotations of ceramics. I aimed to imbue it with a fresh, modern air. I wanted my tableware to evoke emotion through its lightness and purity.

The business model
SUSTAINABLE YET HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MODEL
Centralized, Ethical, and Conscious Production, Yet Highly Competitive
Since its establishment, we've crafted a distinctive and innovative model by fully integrating our production processes. Our ethical and environmentally conscious production approach has proven to be remarkably competitive.
With a current team of four individuals earning a combined monthly salary of 10K, we produce 1200 pieces per month, valued at 70K.
To scale our operations, we only need to recruit two additional illustrators to double our production output.
In summary, with a total salary of 15K for six production staff, we can produce 2400 pieces per month and generate 140K worth of inventory.
CLEAN PROFITABLE GROWTH
Despite being entirely self-financed since its inception, TSP generated a revenue of 600K last year with a 7% EBIDTA.
The brand's organic growth without specific budgets allocated to communication and marketing demonstrates its potential for future expansion when budgets are allocated to these areas.
LESS WASTE, MORE SAVINGS
With controlled production, we have the lowest loss percentage in the industry throughout our production chain.
€5M in revenue, no CAPEX.
Our operations are set up to allow us to produce 50,000 units per year, with the potential to generate €5M without requiring additional investment, using our existing production site.
MORE THAN DOUBLE THE GROSS MARGIN OF OUR COMPETITORS
Our in-house production is not only highly sustainable but also extremely profitable.
GLOBAL WHOLESALE EXPANSION
Upon the brand's wholesale debut, we established more than 80 resellers worldwide, spanning across prestigious international retail chains and department stores.
What’s to come…
In 2024 we are partnering with Hyundai, one of South Korea's largest retail groups to expand into the Korean market. This strategic alliance is expected to generate $3 million in revenue over three years by establishing two concessions and a flagship store within Hyundai's retail spaces.
This collaboration will not only increase TSP's visibility and market penetration in Korea but also leverage Hyundai’s local expertise, infrastructure, and consumer insights to enhance operational efficiency and meet local consumer demands.
This partnership marks a strategic move towards TSP's global expansion and brand establishment in a dynamic international market.
What we achieved organically.
AN ENTHUSIASTIC OFFER
Our digital experience and CRM strategy are refreshing, engaging, and converting.
360° IMMERSIVE POP UP ACTIVATION - LE BON MARCHÉ
Enhenced retail experience
The pop-up event spanned over three months, from October through December, and allowed us to connect with our clientele in a unique and engaging way.
During this period, we showcased our exquisite collections within Le Bon Marché. We created a captivating atmosphere that featured a live illustration workshop: our talented illustrator worked on-site, capturing the attention of clients by sketching right before their eyes. This not only added an interactive and artistic dimension to the shopping experience but also showcased our brand's dedication to craftsmanship and creativity.
The primary focus of this pop-up event was to enhance the retail journey for The Bon Marché's clientele.
Immersive and participative workshops
In line with this objective, we organised two illustration classes every month, allowing customers to delve deeper into our creative process. The Bon Marché's strategic promotion, initiated 10 days before each class, ensured a high level of anticipation among the audience. Interested clients were able to secure their spots in these ceramic illustration classes by conveniently scanning a QR code.
This immersive experience not only allowed us to showcase our collections but also fostered a deeper connection with our clients. The live illustration workshops and the hands-on classes created a sense of involvement and appreciation for our brand's artistry. The synergy between our brand's ethos and The Bon Marché's commitment to elevating retail experiences resulted in a successful and enriching collaboration.
LUXURY COLLABORATIONS
Luxury brands have sought collaborations with us, with esteemed names such as Chopard, Petrossian, and The Ritz Hotel among our partners since 2022.
For Chopard, we hand-drew their renowned flower on 500 of our photophores, which they gifted to their top clients just before Christmas.
With Petrossian, we developed a special egg holder featuring a hand-painted "Caviar" pattern. We launched this collaboration with Mickael Petrossian himself, showcasing a recipe for Oeuf au Caviar, highlighting the egg holder.
Additionally, we are collaborating with the renowned pastry chef of The Ritz Hotel to incorporate the design of his upcoming pastry into our plates, creating a continuous and aesthetically striking pattern.
STRONG B2C COMMUNITY
With self-financing as our backbone, TSP showcases its capacity for independent growth, nurturing a resilient B2C community that contributes to 80% of our revenue.
PRIVATE EVENTS & TEAM BUILDINGS
Major corporate entities like L'Oréal and TikTok, as well as luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton and Chanel, have opted to privatize our manufacturing facility for their team-building events.
Upon arrival, they are greeted with exquisite cocktails and snacks, and we offer them a firsthand glimpse into our craft and production processes to immerse them in our world. Following this, they participate in a two-hour illustration class using our pieces.
Tailoring the experience to their preferences, we guide them in exploring creative themes relevant to their companies.
COLLABORATIONS WITH IMPACT
Heimstone - 250K in revenue in 3 hours
In June 2022, our collaboration with the esteemed fashion brand Heimstone commenced with an exclusive private event, culminating in an online launch at 9 PM.

The shift to Porcelaine as an obvious choice
-
BETTER & MORE SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS
In our pursuit of quality and sustainability, porcelain emerges as an obvious choice. Known for its exceptional qualities—purity, translucency, and hardness—it embodies our commitment to excellence.
Today, we are embarking on a strategic shift towards more sustainable practices, collaborating with leading experts in the field of porcelain craftsmanship.
The obsession and passion for creating quality products are deeply ingrained in us. The deliberate choice to prioritize a meticulous production process, valuing time and care, highlights our commitment to creating durable and ethical items that transcend time. Our goal is to instill an appreciation culture, giving objects renewed value and meaning. The idea of passing down tableware as heritage is also very present.
-
ETHICAL MODERN LUXURY:
The establishment of the "Porcelaine de Saint Germain des Prés" brand is a strategic decision that significantly strengthens our brand's position in the luxury market. The name "Porcelaine de Saint Germain des Prés" signifies and implies a commitment to preserving Parisian manufacturing traditions.
Heritage and Craftsmanship: By establishing our production in Paris, our brand aligns with a long-standing expertise that reinforces the craftsmanship and excellence of our products.
Marketing and Commercial Leverage: This prestigious association enhances our marketing strategies by leveraging the historical and cultural recognition of Parisian craftsmanship. It attracts customers, investors, and potential partners.
Strategic Orientation: This unique positioning fosters partnerships and attracts a clientele committed to tradition and exclusivity. It supports marketing strategies focused on heritage, luxury, and authenticity.
-
NEW MARKETS: HOSPITALITY & B2B
From a commercial strategy perspective, our transition to porcelain significantly stimulates and develops our activities. This new direction opens up previously inaccessible market opportunities.
The hospitality and B2B sectors are proving to be essential growth areas. We have received inquiries from renowned chefs such as Cyril Lignac and prestigious establishments like the Ritz Hotel, as well as other reputed hotels and spas. All are interested in collaborating on tableware lines.
Previously, the fragility of our earthenware prevented us from working with restaurateurs. Porcelain thus opens up a new commercial landscape for us.
Great for investors.

70% MARGIN
Proof of concept:
During the initial four years of TSP's launch, I gained invaluable insights into my business category, particularly regarding production. This period enabled me to thoroughly comprehend every aspect of it and how to optimize it efficiently. Today, I possess a profound understanding of each step involved in production and the strategies needed to maximize its potential.
Autonomy for Independence and Profit Maximization
his is primarily attributed to our innovative business model, wherein we maintain control over the entire production process, from manufacturing to retail.
By vertically integrating these operations, we have achieved margins reaching up to an outstanding 84%.
This strategic approach not only maximizes profitability but also ensures operational efficiency and quality control throughout the value chain.
Resilient model:
Our self sustained operations is not only extremely sustainable but also extremely resistant to outside impact.
-
SCALABILITY & DIVERSIFICATION
Opening new channels:
While digital growth remains a primary focus for the company, 2024 and 2025 will mark the brand's expansion into new channels such as wholesale and hospitality.
We will have the flexibility to manufacture pieces in our Parisian ateliers for projects that have an added value in artisanal products, such as The Ritz Hotel. Alternatively, for larger-scale productions, we can opt for externalized, more industrial production in Limoges, where we retain creative control and oversee production.
This strategic approach aims to increase brand visibility and volume while showcasing our capability to operate on a larger scale.
Product diversification:
In the upcoming year, our focus shifts towards product diversification. We aim to imbue every aspect of daily life, from the bathroom to the lighting of living spaces, bedding, and fragrances. Our ambition is to evolve into a modern lifestyle brand, catering to contemporary needs and preferences.
While maintaining our existing permanent line, TSP will introduce vibrant new capsule collections, adding a splash of color and freshness to our offerings.
