Pylones will celebrate its 35th anniversary in 2020, still stunned by the transformation it has undergone since it first began. Alert and quick off the blocks, Pylones pulsates energy and has soon lost track of time. Can it really be three decades already? PYLONES's makeshift workshop has evolved into a vibrant, independent SMB that exports French design worldwide and launched new fashion accessory collections in 2015, along with a range of gifts and souvenirs sporting the colours of brand favourite cities (Paris, Berlin, London, Venice, Florence and New York).

A proud heir of popular arts and traditions, as well as its techniques and secular ornaments, Pylones cavorts with 21st century materials to create offbeat, contemporary objects that combine both tradition and technology. PYLONES has always liked to ruffle a few feathers! The brand likes to shake things up; reinventing, dressing and colouring them to make everyday life more fulfilling. And what about the objects themselves? PYLONES covers them lovingly in handmade or designer patterns; whether striking, subtle, figurative or abstract, each one is unique. The brand decides whether they are smiling, pleading, naïve or snobbish; whether animals or people, they become magical gifts and playful companions to enliven the drudgery of routine. Pylones has been operating in Paris for the past few decades and has more than a hundred stores worldwide.

Ever since 1996, the blown glass workshop, nestling in the heart of the Pylones factory near Paris, has been dreaming up and producing the "Le Souffle de Pylones" jewellery collection of rings, necklaces and earrings, mouth-blown using the unrivalled expertise of its 8 artisans. Featuring “couture” colours, and liquid or sparkly contents. Whether behemoths or miniatures, they’re invariably stylish. This is jewellery that calls to mind the halcyon days of glorious Parisian fashion!

These were brand's first successes from the early days that provided the impetus for what would become the cornerstone of its business: creating objects. Why Pylones? Because PYLONES loves their pylons – these imposing figures who oversee our energy distribution across plains and fields, valleys and mountains, and who know no borders. Like them, and in homage to them, the brand have stretched out its arms to embrace the planet and transmit its positivity! New adventures will enable PYLONES to spread its wings for a journey that will prove to be a long one...

Various elements fused together in 1985, somewhere between the flea market and the ENSCI industrial design school in Paris. And what about the objects themselves? Animal jewellery made from latex, a crazy yet flexible and versatile material that lends itself to the wildest imagination. And the people? Jacques and Léna Guillemet and three intrepid young designers, “Les Braguettes Magiques”. Their makeshift tinkering process blossomed into a jubilant production workshop to satisfy demand and an ever-increasing raft of customers. Moulds burgeoned, colours fused, and design knew no limits, leading to a profusion of braces, ties, lamps and mirrors, etc. Out of this poetic bric-a-brac emerged the first Parisian store on Ile Saint-Louis in 1987. But the story had only just begun…...
