Who we are
MARTIN BRETÉCHER
Our journey in FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) and OS&E (Operating Supplies & Equipment) began with the Hoxton Paris project, where I took the lead on behalf of Dynamo. Over time, I began managing the agency’s interior design projects and leading the team responsible for FF&E/OS&E. Together, we furnished iconic establishments such as SO, MOB, Kimpton, Cotton House Mustique, Mama Shelter Luxembourg, the New York Art of Marvel Hotel, Cartier on rue de la Paix, Le Jules Verne, Le Grand Intercontinental, and many more.
In 2022, I launched Holdon, specializing in FF&E project consulting and guidance. The following year, I partnered with my friend Gaëtan to take our expertise even further.
GAËTAN LAGARDE
Graduated from Vatel, I began my career by securing a position on Guy Savoy restaurant at La Monnaie de Paris during a bold same-day round trip to Paris. Passionate about cooking, I have always been immersed in the hospitality and restaurant industry. Early on, I chose to learn the trade hands-on, spending my vacations working in operational roles. After completing my MBA, I joined the Maisons Pariente group at the time of its founding to assist with operations. This experience took me to the south of France, where I managed the openings of Lou Pinet, Crillon le Brave, and Le Coucou in Méribel. During COVID, with everything on hold awaiting the reopening of public venues, I decided to shift my focus to FF&E and OS&E management, working with the Laurent Taïeb group to equip Madame Rêve and Too Hôtel.
As the founder of LHOSP, I then went on to oversee several projects for renowned brands such as MGallery, Mondrian, and Hyde.
FIGURZ allows investors, architects, operators, and project management consultants to uncover unexpected costs from the very beginning of the project by estimating FF&E and OS&E budgets, clarifying the responsibility matrix and developing the schedule.
From lifting a 7-meter carpet to the 17th floor in Miami via video call during COVID-19 (all while feeding a baby at 3 AM) to managing the installation of 450 beds in Ibiza amidst construction chaos, we’ve weathered every imaginable challenge.
With over €80M worth of FF&E/OS&E projects under our belts, we’ve seen firsthand how insufficient budgets and a lack of understanding of project complexities can derail even the best plans.
This experience inspired us to create Figurz—an online tool that helps swiftly define hotel interior design budgets. Figurz is designed for investors, developers, architects, decorators, operators, project managers, and suppliers who need quick, reliable insights into project timelines and budgets before diving in.
