Founded in 2009 by Valérie Maltaverne, YMER&MALTA is a company dedicated to the creation of art furniture, reviving the French tradition of excellence.

Valérie Maltaverne, the driving force behind YMER&MALTA, breathes new life into the French arts and crafts with her taste for noble materials, her passion for craftsmanship, and her desire.

YMER&MALTA creates exceptional made-to-measure pieces, in limited or numbered series, that combine innovation and high craftsmanship in a highly contemporary fashion. Inspirations of the collections are drawn from the natural world, exuding delicate poetry, and elegance. At the crossroads of design and fine craftsmanship, YMER&MALTA occupies a special place in the world of decorative arts. All our collections are built for the long term.

In essence, the creative incubation period is a long process of reflection, then leads to the time of the gesture of craftsmen. This phase is one of the keystones of the whole development process. It is the time that allows us to choose exceptional materials, such as wood, marble, leather, glass, paper, and more. The selection is extremely rigorous which brings to the significant, impactful result.

With the support of a large number of French workshops, YMER&MALTA defines technique and pushes innovation to revisit marquetry, reinvent tapestry, open up marble, and give each object and each piece of furniture a singularity, a new and poetic truth. The result is luxurious, immediately perceptible in the absolute sense of the world.

Making, unmaking, remaking, Maltaverne works with craftsmen to explore hitherto uncharted territories in their know-how. Keeping up with production, meeting deadlines, adapting projects to techniques without compromising the aesthetics are all challenges that YMER&MALTA takes up every day with the same passion. Through this work philosophy, Maltaverne aims to restore exceptional design to its rightful place.
