Mission and philosophy

The art of life

Crafting personalised & timeless sanctuaries that contrast the fast-paced modern world.

Family summer, Saint-Tropez, France, 2019

Recognising the intimate relationship an individual has with their surroundings, SHEPEL’s mission is to create completely personalised, timeless sanctuaries that contrast the fast-paced and ever-changing nature of the modern world.

Each SHEPEL’ project is a labour of love. As its artisans shape furnishings and joinery with their skilled hands, they combine honest material with clarity of construction and artistic excellence. The result is one-of-a-kind designs hold traces of its maker’s heart and soul whilst reflecting the space and individual for which it was made.
