About Dahompurpu

A Lyon studio dedicated to the art of presenting homes at their absolute best.

Our Story

Dahompurpu was founded in 2018 by Camille Rousseau and Antoine Mercier, two interior enthusiasts who saw a gap in the Lyon market for thoughtful, locally attuned home staging. Based on Rue Victor Hugo in the 2nd arrondissement, we have since staged over 340 properties across Lyon, Villeurbanne, Caluire, and the wider metropolitan area.

Our name reflects our design philosophy: homes that feel warm (daho), refined (pur), and uniquely yours (pu). We believe every property has a story — our job is to help buyers imagine themselves living in it.

Our Approach

We draw inspiration from Lyon's architectural heritage — the painted traboules of Vieux Lyon, the light-filled windows of Presqu'île apartments, the industrial charm of converted silk workshops. Our signature palette of dusty blue, wheat, and cream creates spaces that photograph beautifully and feel immediately welcoming.

Every project begins with a thorough walkthrough and market analysis. We consider your target buyer demographic, comparable listings in your arrondissement, and the property's unique strengths before proposing a staging plan.
