Ateliers Jacamar is the culmination of a love for wood passed down from generation to generation since 1865

Jean-Joseph Deniel-Bouchard

At that time, Jean-Joseph Deniel-Bouchard, a master wheelwright in Brittany, designed and manufactured hubs, spokes, wheels, and oak frames, while also working with beech, valued for its flexibility and ease of bending. Over the years, his expertise extended beyond the rural and artisanal beginnings to meet custom orders from new, more varied, and demanding clientele. Several generations later, his great-grandsons rekindled this passion for wood by founding Ateliers Jacamar. Their ambition: to put their experience and attention to detail at the service of clients and master builders, cultivating the creative freedom that drives each project.

Their motto could be summed up as: "Let your imagination guide you, without ever limiting your ambition."
