In 1977, Robert Sentou opened Sentou Boutique, a shop in Paris where he distributed his furniture. In 1986, things took a new direction with the arrival of a new business partner, Jacques Boissonnas, an art and design lover, who brought new impetus and new ambition to Sentou.
Sentou Boutique became Sentou Galerie and moved into a new showroom at n°24 rue du Pont Louis Philippe in the Marais, aimed primarily at decorating professionals, offering an exclusive collection of designer furniture and custom-made products.
