Polcha is the result of a fifteen-year friendship between two free and creative minds: Pauline Leyravaud and Charlotte Tabouriech. Under the motto, "preloved and rethought furniture" the Elements Collection demonstrates with brio and contagious energy, how vintage upcycled design can become genuinely new creations of undeniable contemporaneity.

Founded by two longtime friends, Pauline Leyravaud and Charlotte Tarbouriech, the POLCHA studio is the result of a blend between art and fashion. With their complementary approaches, the duo formed with the common desire to anchor their practice in a distinct creative universe.
Pauline Leyravaud, a graduate of ESAG-Penninghen and a gold medalist from the Van Der Kellen Institute, is an artist specializing in frescoes, trompe-l'oeil, and scenography. Engaged in a process of research and development, Pauline Leyravaud is constantly experimenting with new, more natural and responsible techniques, and finding points of intersection between classical and modern cultures.
Charlotte Tarbouriech, a graduate of Studio Bercot, specializes in shoe design. She worked for ten years as a consultant for various Italian, English, and French fashion houses. With her experience in the footwear industry, Charlotte Tarbouriech masters the application of imagination to technique. Today, she varies her means of expression by turning to craftsmanship in order to be more in line with her convictions.

Transforming carefully selected pieces in their workshop located on rue Oberkampf, Pauline & Charlotte combine traditional techniques with graphic research, playing with vibrations and light refractions, to turn still material into sinuous curves making the material almost intangible.

Former Fashion designer, Charlotte Tabouriech graduated from Studio Bercot before focusing on furniture design. Pauline Leyravaud graduated from ESAG-Penninghen and is also a gold medalist at the Van Der Kellen Institute.
