One of the world’s most famous French manufacturers of kitchens, Mobalpa has grown from a tiny furniture shop in a small French town of Thônes, located in the beautiful region of Rhône-Alpes. In 1907, Eugene Fournier opened a small family-owned company that has been producing furniture of Alpine wood.

Nothing promised the world fame, glory and success to the enterprise, until 1946. That year the company has passed to the sons of its founder, Paul and Marcel. The brothers Fournier decided to concentrate on the manufacture of furniture for the kitchen, and in 1949 officially registered the Mobalpa trademark. They came up with the name by contracting and combining the words “furniture” and “Alps”.

The company has changed a lot since the time of the development of the first samples in a small workshop in Thônes. Now Mobalpa has three factories in France, which lists three hundreds of façade options and more than 30 models of sets, as well as a staff of one thousand people. The company is known throughout the world thanks to the work of talented designers and engineers who embody its life motto: “Trust us your dream, and we will help you to realize it”.

Mobalpa has always been different from a huge variety of kitchen furniture manufacturers due to its bold design solutions that blend harmoniously with the high-tech filling of the sets. Each kitchen is one of a kind, drawn from 4000 modules on individual wishes of a customer. And there are plenty of choice. Mobalpa offers classics, Art Deco, minimalism, French Provence and high-tech, natural materials and bright colors.

Mobalpa puts rational use of space and practicality on the cornerstone. The company, by the way, has its own laboratory, where the furniture is being tested at the rate of aging, fading and passes experimental crash tests.

The French manufacture has awards in the field of design and exclusive technological developments that make cooking systems incredibly comfortable. For example, Mobalpa engineers have come up with a flexible material which carpets storage and separation sections in boxes. They also significantly increased useful volume in the drawers and cabinets, slightly reducing the height of the shelves and containers.

Since the mid-nineties, the company produces furniture for bathrooms and walk-in closets, with the same enthusiasm combining bold design with the practicality of findings and technical perfection.
