VERDURABLE was founded in 2011 by two partners: Luchun CHEN (Manager, PhD in Sociology from Paris Descartes University) and Qi WU (Designer, graduate of the prestigious École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris). The company aims to design, develop and deliver innovative products.
The Project Garden Age was developed with the Bretonneau Hospital of Paris. The project received Charles Foix Research and Innovation Grant (Bourse de Recherche et d’Innovation de Charles Foix) in 2009. It was also supported by Paris Region Entreprises under its “Assistance for First Innovative Project” and “Innovate Better in Mechanics” (MIM) schemes in 2011. In 2012, Verdurable was laureate of the Silver Age Trophies (Trophées du Grand Age), under the patronage of France's Ministry for Solidarity and Social Cohesion, in the “Research and Development” category.
