The name, Clover, stands for good luck and happiness: Charlotte Biltgen, Jean-François Piège and his wife initially tried their hand at finding objects by chance at the Puces de St Ouen and bric-a-brac shops in Brussels. A series of spherical Radiohuset wall lamps (1931) by the Danish architect Vilhem Lauritzen, some of the colourful crockery or the bistro table legs have therefore experienced a decorative history before becoming acquainted with Clover.
Likewise for the parquet, taken from SNCF freight wagons before being reconditioned.
