LOCAL ARTISANS
At Maison Charlot, durability and sustainability are in the heart of our business. How and where our posters are made matters.

Reforestation program
ONE PRINT - ONE TREE
To limit our environmental impact and give back to nature and society, we partner with Tree Nation and started our reforestation program. Thus, part of our profit goes to replanting the forests in the rural areas. We made sure when buying a Maison Charlot art print you are making a positive impact on the environment. With each order, you will receive an email through which You will be able to see the species of the tree, where it is planted and revisit your tree whenever you want!
NATURAL COTTON PAPER
When selecting materials, we made sure to select the highest quality and responsible alternatives. Maison Charlot art prints are printed on 315g paper made from 100% natural cotton. The surface has a special matte coating that has archival properties, perfect for limited edition fine art reproductions. The cotton paper is long-lasting, free of acids, lignin and optical brightening agents that change the look of prints over time.
PIGMENT INKS
Maison Charlot art prints are produced through the giclée technique using pigment inks. Unlike in traditional dye-based prints where water-soluble ink bonds with the paper, here pigments are directly laid down onto the paper to produce superb quality artwork. This technic guarantees colour stability for up to150 years. The pigment inks used in the production are non-toxic and non-combustible. Thus, it secures the atelier with a safe and healthy working environment
PACKAGING
Striving to cover all aspects of our supply chain in a sustainable manner, we substitute the regular postal tubes made from virgin materials with an eco-friendly solution. Maison Charlot art prints are shipped in protective tubes which are made from 100% recycled fibreboard. They are fully recyclable, reusable.
Shipping only within EU
Reducing transport emissions
Besides our prints being made locally in Paris, we decided to further reduce our emissions caused by long-distance transportation. From August 2021, Maison Charlot art prints will be available solely for clients and partners in EU countries.
