The Charlie Crane Adventure

Since its creation in 2012, the designer furniture creator Charlie Crane has been injecting a new vision into the world of childcare and has become a key player on the international market.

    Committed to Imagine new furniture, beautiful but above all practical
  • 100% French

    With a team mainly based in Paris.
  • 20 countries

    Charlie Crane products are sold in over 20 countries.

“In our current interiors, the boundaries of rooms are blurring. Charlie Crane's goal is to imagine furniture for children that fits perfectly into the overall decor of the house and apartment.”

Thomas Lepine

Founder

Born out of fatherhood

Thomas Lépine, father of three children, founded Charlie Crane in response to a personal need: to create furniture for children that was as beautiful as it was practical. Bored by garish objects that are unsuitable for his interior, he designs elegant and functional creations that integrate harmoniously into the house.

Launched with the iconic LEVO deckchair, Charlie Crane pursues this vision: to support parents in their daily lives while offering children a reassuring and aesthetic environment.

A great team!

Since its creation
The Charlie Crane team has continued to grow. At first alone, Thomas Lépine was quickly joined by Gaspard Tiné-Bérès, the brand's designer, then by Lucille Dubos, head of the commercial division.

Today
The team has 12 employees who are not all based in Paris. Charlie Crane practiced teleworking long before the Covid pandemic; some live in Orléans, Nice... and even Barcelona! An international brand, we said.
