We have been established on the French Riviera for 30 years and now have four locations: Nice, Cannes, Monaco, Saint Tropez and Marseille.
We are passionate about developing your decoration projects, whether for private, professional, or public spaces.
Our international design brands and our collections of objects, furniture, artwork, and decoration accessories are appreciated by our clients, who commend our creativity and reliability!
Our decoration approach is understated and timeless, but attentive to innovation: Bel Œil continuously monitors the new developments in design to best provide for its partners, whether hotels, architects, decorators or investors.

Bel Œil Design Collection
Bel Œil collects rare and historical design objects with the intention of confirming the enduring cultural value of our selections.
Bel Œil Art Collection
Bel Œil collects artwork through the privileged connections generated by our exhibition programmes and the particularly productive local art scene on the French Riviera.
We regularly deal with the leaders of the area’s art world: museums, galleries, and artists. We are a historical member of the Botox(s) network / partner of de l’air magazine, and we endeavour to contribute to the influence of these partners.
Bel Œil and the Ressourcerie
Bel Œil supports the Ressourcerie, an organisation of the Fondation de Nice which supports a social inclusion project focused on empowerment through work and eco-citizenship.
Bel Œil guides you in your project according to a structured method that ensures the organised follow-through from our first contact with you to the installation of your decoration.
And even beyond… Feel free to keep in touch to share in the events of the Bel Œil community!
