ABOUT RACING & EMOTION
Founded in Le Mans in 2010, Racing & Emotion is a French automotive design house creating bespoke motorsport furniture, limited-edition collections and collectible automotive art inspired by racing heritage, engineering culture and emotional storytelling.
​
Created by automotive designers with deep roots in Le Mans racing culture, Racing & Emotion bridges the worlds of performance engineering, motorsport history and contemporary interior design. Each creation is conceived as a functional work of art — engineered with precision, handcrafted in France and produced in intentionally limited quantities.
​
Carbon fibre, aluminium, fibreglass, Alcantara and fine leathers are selected not only for their aesthetic qualities, but also for their connection to automotive engineering and racing culture. Every material, finish and detail contributes to the story behind the piece.
​
From our atelier in Le Mans, we oversee the complete creative and production process, from initial concept and graphic development to construction, finishing and final quality control. This integrated approach allows Racing & Emotion to offer an extensive range of bespoke possibilities, including colours, racing liveries, materials, upholstery, stitching and personalised details.
​
The result is a collection of distinctive furniture and design objects created for private collectors, automotive brands, racing teams, hospitality environments and institutions worldwide.
FROM RACING ICONS TO OFFICIAL LICENSED COLLECTIONS
Since its creation, Racing & Emotion has developed a significant chapter of its history through official licensing programmes with internationally recognised automotive and motorsport brands.
​
These collaborations have allowed Racing & Emotion to transform authentic brand identities, racing liveries and competition heritage into carefully designed lifestyle collections while respecting the visual codes, history and values of each partner.

This licensing heritage forms an important part of Racing & Emotion's evolution: from independent motorsport-inspired design to the creation of officially licensed collections developed in collaboration with global automotive and racing organisations.
​
Today, Racing & Emotion continues to work with manufacturers, racing teams, collectors and institutions worldwide, treating motorsport not as nostalgia, but as a living design language.
MADE IN LE MANS. MADE TO BE PERSONAL.
Having control over the entire design and construction process allows Racing & Emotion to maintain a high level of craftsmanship while offering an almost unlimited range of customisation.
​
A commission can be inspired by a legendary racing car, an official motorsport identity or a client's own automobile. Colours, liveries, materials and interior finishes can all become the starting point for a unique creation.
​
Our objective is simple: to transform the emotion, engineering and visual identity of racing icons into timeless objects designed to live beyond the racetrack.
​
Materials. Finishes. Research. Design. Engineering. Craftsmanship.
​
Entering the Racing & Emotion universe means entering a world where motorsport heritage becomes collectible design.
DESIGN, CRAFTSMANSHIP & BESPOKE SERVICE
In an increasingly industrialised world, truly handmade and bespoke furniture has become rare. At Racing & Emotion, we are committed to preserving a more personal approach to design: creating distinctive pieces that combine craftsmanship, automotive culture and functional art.
​
Every Racing & Emotion creation is designed to be more than furniture. Each piece is conceived as an individual design object, shaped by hand, finished with care and produced in France in deliberately limited quantities.
​
We do not rely on mass-production methods. Instead, our approach is based on specialist craftsmanship, carefully selected materials and close attention to proportion, finish, upholstery and detail. This allows each creation to develop its own character and to remain visually relevant over time.
​
For some, this is luxury furniture. For us, it is something more specific: exclusive interior design inspired by racing heritage, made to be lived with and made to last. Our bespoke service allows clients to personalise colours, materials, finishes, upholstery, stitching and graphic treatments, creating pieces that can reflect a specific car, racing livery, collection or interior environment.
​
From concept to final inspection, every detail is considered to achieve a balance of sculptural presence, comfort and craftsmanship.
