Guillaume Bordelongue, CEO
A look back at our history.
1896 - 1950: The beginnings
Founded in 1896 in Souillac, in the Lot region of France, our workshop gained its first reputation by makingtools for cabinetmakers and joiners - planes, Jack plane, plow plane, fore plane - fashioned from local species such as cork, beech and holm oak, testifying to a craftsmanship rooted in the Quercy region.

1951 - 1984: furniture and marquetry
With globalization, we are forced to abandon the manufacture of professional tools and return to the primary vocation of our artisans: cabinetmaking. Serving a local and then regional clientele, we create furniture and fittings for residential and boutique projects. Our mastery of marquetry has been particularly appreciated since the 1960s.

1985 - 2015: glulam and innovation
With Pierre and Brigitte Bordelongue buying the workshop in 1985, a culture of research and development transformed and expanded our team's expertise. Several innovations in laminated wood, the use of fiber optics, casting resins, and digital machining led us to file a number of patents.
During those years, our workshop was renamed Lamellux as a nod to the laminated-wood technique (lamellé-collé) and to our high-end positioning.
In 2009, the " Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant " (EPV) label awarded by the French Ministry of the Economy, Industry and Employment confirms the excellence and rarity of our know-how.

2015 - Today: continuity
Guillaume Bordelongue has been part of the team since 2007, and took over the family business in 2015. The family workshop continues to improve, with the construction of a new 3,500 m² workshop to be inaugurated in 2023 in Brive-La-Gaillarde, and the renewal of the machine park.
The team is strengthening its expertise in a range of areas (wood engineers, site managers, installers, etc.) in order to provide its clients with the best possible support for theirhigh-end interior design projects and to manage complex projects involving a combination of materials —wood, metal, marble, glass, textiles, leather, etc.

Our environmental commitment
At Lamellux, we believe that customization is the key to more responsible design.
Each project is thought out down to the smallest detail so that only what is necessary is used, without excess or waste.
It is this artisanal and precise approach that allows us to naturally reduce our environmental impact, while guaranteeing unique and sustainable creations.
Carefully selected materials
We make it a point of honor to select our wood according to the most demanding environmental standards, and we ensure that it is FSC certified.
Our solid wood species, particularly oak, come from French forests. We select the logs ourselves from suppliers to ensure both impeccable aesthetic quality and maximum optimization of the raw material.
Sustainable, waste-free production
Customization allows us to tailor our supplies precisely to each project, limiting waste right from the design stage.
In our workshops, nothing goes to waste: we reuse wood scraps to make supports, panels, or samples, and entrust the remaining scraps to a specialized partner responsible for recycling them.
This circular economy approach allows us to transform each step into a sustainable action.
Controlled and responsible processes
We pay particular attention to the quality and composition of the products used in our workshop.
We always choose the latest adhesives and finishes on the market, with some of the lowest VOC and formaldehyde levels available, in order to protect the health of our teams and our customers.
When adhesives require special treatment, they are disposed of in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
Cleaning water is collected and treated by an approved company before being purified and returned to the municipal water system.
To ensure a healthy and safe working environment, our workshops are equipped with a state-of-the-art dust extraction system, guaranteeing clean air and a better quality of work for our teams.
In our finishing booths, a special device also captures and filters emissions, ensuring the safety and health of our employees while reducing releases into the atmosphere.
An eco-designed, forward-looking website
When constructing our new building, we incorporated current environmental standards and promoted sustainable transportation: easy access by bus, bicycle, or electric car, with charging stations available on site.
