Alexandre Phelippeau

A graduate of ESTP [École Spéciale des Travaux Publics, du bâtiment et de l'industrie, a Paris engineering and research graduate school] Alexandre Phelippeau began his career as an engineer in the Vinci construction group before embarking on the restoration of historical monuments, where he joined… his father Jean-Paul! So his path intersected with his family’s and he discovered – who could ever have imagined - a passion for upholstery. In 2011, he became an upholsterer and in 2012 joined the family business before taking over from his father in 2015.
