Blachère Illumination

With over 45 years of experience and a global network of 26 subsidiaries, Blachère creates amazing creations for over 150 countries every year. From the dazzling illumination of the Eiffel Tower at the turn of the millennium, to the lighting of the most beautiful avenue in the world, the Champs Élysées, to the lighting of world cities such as Amsterdam, Vienna, Moscow, Dubai, London or Rio. Our goal is to understand the challenges that cities and shopping centres face.

About us

Blachère Illumination is a traditional French family business that is still nestled in its birthplace (Apt France) today, but with a forward-looking view on international growth. We distinguish ourselves from the rest through our expertise and innovative designs, so that we can create exceptional custom-made lighting creations that match your image!

Our “haute couture” workshops are located in Provence in Apt and bring together 60 people each year. This number increases to more than 120 employees in the season! Large fir trees of more than 25 meters, monumental fountains or colorful tunnels of 100 meters long, everything is made with the greatest care and attention to detail. In total, 50,000 ornaments are produced each year in all our production sites by more than 400 employees. The French state has awarded us the EPV label, which recognizes French companies with artisanal and industrial know-how. We are also the only French lighting company to have obtained the ISO 9001 certification.

Our mission

In addition to our desire to make the world a little more beautiful, environmental responsibility is one of our priorities. Half of our research and development budget is earmarked for environmentally friendly innovations and we do everything we can to reduce the impact of our products on the planet.

Our R&D department develops innovative and environmentally friendly solutions every day to amaze and surprise your audience, but also to help you manage your lighting with peace of mind. This way you are always up to date with all the ins and outs of your lighting!

Exclusive LED use

We were the first to make the use of LED lighting the norm within our group. Its lifespan is ten times longer and it also consumes up to ten times less power. This is how we contribute to your sustainability.

Green electricity

Over the next three years, Blachere Illumination is committed to an environmentally friendly approach by producing electricity from renewable energy sources (hydraulic, geothermal, wind or solar).

BIOPrint ornaments

The first recyclable and biodegradable ornaments! BIOPrint comes from a biosourced sugar cane without GMOs, which is then transformed in a French laboratory into the recyclable and biodegradable ornaments.

The Blachère Foundation

The Jean-Paul Blachère Foundation has been involved in the development of Africa since 2004 by helping contemporary creation and the promotion of its artists. This is in line with our aesthetic and ethical values.

Printed FSC document
