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. 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 the 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 has 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...

Many elements came together in 1985 in Paris – somewhere between the antique market and the ENSCI industrial design school. And the things themselves – animal-shaped jewelry made of latex – a crazy, yet flexible and versatile material that makes even the most fantastical, wildest imaginations come alive. And the people? – Jacques and Lena Guillemette and three daring young designers – "Les Braguettes Magiques". It is they who resort to improvisations in the workshop in order to meet all the demands of the growing customer. The number of molds has increased, new colors are mixed with each other, the design does not recognize any boundaries, as a result of which many kinds of clamps, necklaces, lamps or mirrors, etc. are created. Based on this lyrical bric-à-brac (“old stuff”), the first Parisian store opened on Ile Saint-Louis in 1987. But this is just the beginning of the Pylones story...
