Driven by passion, thanks to you the creation continues. Always pushing the limits. André Bousquet

A visionary man Originally from Aveyron, André BOUSQUET left home to set up an electrical installation company in Paris. Once on site he realised that the available electrical fittings lacked beauty. In 1995, and now unconditionally in love with Paris, he decided to start making high-quality switches and sockets. He had to choose a name for his new company and so opted for MELJAC, the name of his home town which he remembered with love. Inspired by the classic style of the '30s, symbolised by the drop-shaped toggle switch, André BOUSQUET began to create the aesthetically flawless brass fittings which remain his signature today. Their unique, sensual and seductive appearance highlights elegant interiors and harmonises with any decorative style. Bringing together utility, beauty and quality crraftsmanship, his innovative and attractive products have continue to attract the top architects, interior designers and private individuals. André BOUSQUET is a visionary and an innovator whose constant development and new product ideas, along with his expansion into international markets starting with Switzerland in 1997, has pushed his company to the top. Today the company has more than 60 employees and each one of them is important to André BOUSQUET who has remained true to his original values. He has been able to develop a family company, where it is a pleasure to work, into a marketplace leader. 1

Made in France In 2012 MELJAC was granted the OFG label ("Guaranteed French Origin") for all brass items and lights. This label, which guarantees that at least 50% of the products are made in France, is a confirmation of the high quality of MELJAC products. This is something that is particularly important to the company as the production of nearly all the range is well above that percentage. 2

Production workshops Since 2009 MELJAC has 2 ateliers in the Parisian region where all stages of production are controlled. It requires mainly high precision tools and irreplaceable hand craftsmanship. Most of MELJAC fittings are made in brass but other materials are also used, such as glass, aluminium, bronze, copper or steel. The creation of a product requires time, close attention and care. MELJAC goes to great lengths to ensure that each creation is worthy of the name, MELJAC. 3

Handcrafted MELJAC products are the result of a lot of different skills, such as research, machining, chamfering, engraving, placing inserts, stamping, polishing, chemical treatments (baths and rinses), brushing, varnishing, assembling and packaging. Machining Engraving Polishing Surface treatment Fittings Products with unmatched quality, sober and timeless design, and whose impeccable finishes are handled with care from the beginning to the end. 4

Limitless know-how With time, fashions and tastes change. In its 20 years of existence, MELJAC has always pushed the limits to satisfy its clients by developing: mechanisms and functions adapted to comfort needs Controls for lighting, shades, temperature... Bells High and low voltage sockets Reading lamps a variety of collections in high quality, refined materials Brass (more than 20 finishes) Glass (RAL colours) Limoges porcelain (colours and designs) Bronze inset with gemstones, minerals, leather or wood Examples of tinted brass 6

MELJAC products can also be personalised by engraving, indicators or label holders often used for signage or identification. Engraving with resin in option (word, symbol, pictogram) Laser engraving Light engraving Relief engraving Indicator Label holder (in glass or light) For many years MELJAC has been designing its own back boxes and is continuing to develop new models. Examples of mounting boxes (with or without installation template) used for different collections Nonetheless, for the renovation of an existing installation, MELJAC fits on standard back boxes. 7

Collections ELLIPSE & ELLIPSE DUO brass, with or without visible screws, straight lever, straight edges CLASSIQUE & CLASSIQUE DUO brass, with or without visible screws, drop-shaped lever, chamfer SOL brass, water-resistance IP44, flush installation VOLUMES solid brass, switches and bells PIERROT glass, drop-shaped lever, chamfer DAMIER brass, square buttons 8

In harmony with the rest of the MELJAC product line, these high-quality brass lamps with lampshades made in luxury fabric are beautiful and sober in the design. Arche lamp Exist in small and large Elysées Opéra Concorde Montmartre PRESTIGE bronze inset with gemstones, minerals, leather or wood LIMOGES glazed or biscuit Limoges porcelain, lever from CLASSIQUE or ELLIPSE Collections 9

Made-to-measure projects In adition to our collections of standard sockets and light switches, MELJAC welcomes requests for custom creations, including: casing or adaptation of any type of electrical, electronical or home-automation systems back boxes engravings in any language, any symbols, figures, pictograms, designs, non-standard sizes and finishes Thermostat (Feller) Swiss model Thermostat (Devireg) Motion detector (Legrand) Combination of switches + thermostat + russian engravings 10

Hospitality sector Home-automation system Tébis (Hager) MELJAC can adapt and develop specific products to respond requests such as those from the hotels. Room number and other indoor signage Key card switch Case + door for an air-conditioning control (Daikin) Solutions for sophisticated multimedia systems, such as "triple play", a new technology that combines various connections for ease of use by the client in throughout the property USB, USB2, HDMI, Bluetooth, remote activation Casing for an entry digital code and phone system 11

Innovations MELJAC products are not just beautiful. Technical research and development have produced in patents and exclusive technologies. SOL collection: IP44 Patented model IDM mechanisms This new generation of mechanisms is available on numerous products. They have lots of advantages: secure terminals, a reliable connection and above all a connecting without constraints, quick and easy. Usually sold with an automatic connection, they can also be made with a screw connection on request. Made in 10 mm-thick solid brass, (14mm for other countries), the SOL Collection is robust, elegant and water-resistant (IP44). The range is available in single, double or quadruple configuration which can accommodate various mechanisms such as power sockets, USB sockets, RJ sockets, even a switch. Exclusive to MELJAC ELLIPSE Collection: switches with an elongated base MELJAC designed a new switch (push button or straight lever) with an elongated base offering a very sophisticated aesthetics characterizing the ELLIPSE collection. The innovation concerns the manufacturing of this mechanism, the recess of the elongated base and its polishing mirror, as well as the option to add a backlight to the lever by optical fiber to create a small marking. Patented model 12

Elliot Collection Characterized by a new operating function, this range is one of the latest MELJAC innovations. Thanks to a contactless detection cavity, the light can be switched on, a bell can be rung or an intercom can be operated. This new electronic system revolutionised 20 years of MELJAC production mainly based on mechanical commands until now. A sound can be emitted at detection and the cavity can be light. In addition to simple engraving, there is the possibility for light or relief engraving. Innovation in luxury remains the strength of MELJAC. ELLIOT entry phone system 13

LYON The second showroom was opened in 2005 in the Célestins area of Lyon. Restyled in September 2008 it is a reflection of the chic area and of MELJAC products aestheticism and sobriety. 14
