OUR STORY
Meljac NA is the North American home for Meljac’s timeless electrical hardware. The entirety of our catalog is made-to-order and manufactured and hand-finished in France. Our lighting controls, outlet plates, lamps, and bespoke creations bring French savoir-faire and unfading elegance to any luxury interior.
Every one of our pieces is manufactured to our client’s exact specifications, allowing unmatched customization possibilities and resulting in controls that offer harmony and distinction to a space.
CREATED TO DIFFERENTIATE
Just as every detail in an interior project is consciously considered for its influence on the whole, our products are designed and carefully crafted to engage the senses and enhance the project’s effect. From their distinct aesthetic and noble materials to the weight and feel of the toggles and push-buttons, Meljac products curate a seductive visual, auditory, and tactile experience.
Meljac is built on two main pillars: heritage and innovation.
Our team of dedicated artisans outside Paris manufacture and finish all pieces in-house, and we continually invest in innovative technologies that build on their experience, knowledge, and craftsmanship legacy.
In an industry where ersatz and lookalikes are common, it’s this blending of heritage and innovation that sets apart our products.
In 2015, Meljac was the first manufacturer of electrical hardware to receive the “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” (EPV) label, which highlighted the authenticity and originality of our creations on the global stage. Our brass and porcelain collections were also respectively certified “Origine France Garantie” in 2012 and 2017.
A HISTORY OF PASSION
For many years, André Bousquet was a sought-after electrician for luxury projects and high-profile clients all over Paris. During that time, he became accustomed to the way even the smallest details on these projects reflected French elegance, quality, and subtlety. However, he noticed that for light switches, very few modern high-grade solutions were available.
Inspired by the subtle timelessness of 1930s design, Bousquet took a chance on the previously non-existent market of design-conscious electrical hardware. He founded Meljac — named after his hometown in the South of France — in 1995 and designed the Classique toggle to realize his vision of a modern application of vintage finesse.
Over 25 years later, Meljac remains the global leader in electrical hardware that blends elegance, authenticity, and function. Our catalog now includes various collections of lighting controls, outlet plates, lamps, and a diverse array of bespoke solutions.
Bousquet’s dedication to this work went beyond the craft and extended to his people. He considered the Meljac artisans family, so much so that he planted a vineyard behind the factory. To this day, the Meljac team comes together in the fall for a “vendange” to harvest the grapes and open the previous year’s vintage.
Sadly, André Bousquet passed away in 2019 at the age of 67.
Today, the Meljac team proudly carries on his legacy through the passion, pride, and human values found in all Meljac products.
