David, after a career in accountancy, opened a contemporary art gallery-bar in Croix Rousse, then in 2017, L'Art de la Pompe, a unique shoe repair workshop. The workshop offers shoe repair and customization services, combining contemporary art with the world of footwear, whether elegant shoes or sneakers.

His wife Floriane joined the company in 2018. While working for a major ready-to-wear brand, she was drawn to David's original concept and shoe-making workshop. She decided to leave the world of mass retail to contribute to the development of L'Art de la Pompe.

Floriane brought to the company her commercial experience and artistic talent, playing a key role in its growth and success. She even created the company's website and continues to make a significant contribution to the family business.
