Born in Brussels in 1938, Georges Pelletier made his debut for two years at the Académie Charpentier in Paris (School of Arts and Crafts), which is now the Picasso Museum. After that he worked at atelier Claude Pantzer (The Great Pottery of Accolay). These pottery were formed by a group of friends who gathered at the end of 1944 near Accolay in the Yvonne in Burgundy to create this famous company. After that, a first mass production was launched. After 1945, Christian Dior used the buttons and ceramic pieces that these young people made for his creations. This company reached its peak during the glorious 30 (1945-1975). Great artists and ceramicists have worked there. In 1961 Georges Pelletier opened his first studio in Paris, where he created his first unique pieces. He was spotted by Roche Bobois for his talent. That's why he became supplier and director of Roche Bobois lighting collections from 1961 to 1973, where he had his own manufacturing workshop dedicated to creating lighting for this great house. It was a real success. In 1973 he decided to go south to Cannes, where he set up a new workshop in which he continued to work.
