The Atelier Demiurge Collection and Editions began as an antique and restoration workshop in the late 1990s.

When Rachel Shorr entered the family business in 2010, she brought on Europe’s finest artisan craftsmen

to produce the first collection. Rachel’s designs began to reflect the essence of

traditional early European and 20th-century furniture design.

 

From the Renaissance to the Baroque and 20th-century designs,
Rachel continues as a distinctive innovator of melding beauty and simplicity in design.
