Baby-foot entièrement recouvert de cuir par la haute-gainerie Vaudaux, à Genève.
Walking through the EPHJ hallways, year after year, there is one stand that is worth a visit. It’ s the one of the more than one hundred year old Vaudaux sheath factory founded in 1908. First, because the welcome is charming, Pia de Chefdebien‘s smile is a must, then because an incredible leather-covered table soccer invites you to play tournaments. Famous in the world of Swiss made watch boxes, Philippe Belais, the owner who is also Claude Meylan‘s CEO, covers even the most unexpected items with leather. Such as this rare wine cabinet… Beautiful craftsmanship, know-how perpetuated.
