THE FOUNDER OF FAMOSA FABRICA

Sophie Chambon

Founder of Famosa Fabrica, Sophie Chambon began her career in technology consulting. She then headed CSR for international groups (Atos, SNCF), where she led transformation and innovation projects. She moved CSR beyond its institutional remit to make it a driver of performance and a strategic priority. She designed a start-up accelerator before setting up her own sustainability consultancy. This experience now informs the development of Famosa Fabrica, founded in 2025.

The selection committee

The selection committee brings together design professionals, fine craftspeople and qualified professionals from the wider ecosystem. Independent in its assessments, it ensures that criteria are properly applied and that decisions remain coherent.
‍
For fine craftspeople, this rigour safeguards the consistency of the community they join. For design professionals, it strengthens confidence in the fine craft expertise represented on the platform.

Selection is based on five criteria: excellence of craft expertise, quality of work, ability to deliver demanding projects, professionalism and working relationships, and fit with Famosa Fabrica's premium positioning.
‍
The committee's membership will be announced by the end of the year.
