French term or phrase:
artisanat d'art
English translation:
arts and crafts
French term
artisanat d'art
"chef de projet artisanat d'art"
(for an on-line shopping [decor/design/home furnishings] company).
I know there's been a fair bit of discussion about "artisanat" on Proz, but nothing I've read quite seems to fit the bill here.
Any ideas much appreciated!

I think the idea your website will be selling items such as those mentioned in this description of the interior design of a restaurant:
Scott told me that because so much of the restaurant's interior design features handcrafted items, it has taken a little longer than anticipated. For instance, a fabricated cypress tree designed especially for the center of the Indigo Grill dining room is on its way from artists Gary Hanick and Bennett Abrahms' NatureMakers design studio in North County. Although the artists are personal friends of Scott's, which allowed her to receive a "best friends" discount, these trees are a major investment, starting at $35,000 and ranging as high as $250,000.

Perhaps 'creative interior design' would be more in keeping with the nature of the project. Or 'crafts and interior design'.

No need for humility, it is just that in an interior design arena, Arts and Crafts has such a specific meaning - William Morris and all that - I had to live with matching wallpaper and curtains of a similar style when growing up and it has marked me!
Thanks, Helen. I am humbled by your interpretation of Arts and Crafts in comparison with my somewhat lowbrow version! :-) I like your last suggestion. Plenty to think about here! |

As for the job description, I would use "arts and crafts project manager".

J'apporte ma pierre à l'édifice...
The "chef de projet" could be the person in charge of sourcing these products.
Discussion
Is this person responsible for actually monitoring and controlling the quality of the items made, sourcing them...? I can't help wondering if the UK equivalent isn't something quite specific that doesn't even mention the word "craft/craftsmanship".
