The Usines Réunies, created in 1903 from the union of the Lebrun factory and the Bardoz-Lefranc factory, closed its doors after one hundred years of existence in 2013.
In order to preserve and publicise the rich history of the Lupian craft industry, the municipality of Saint-Loup has acquired part of the factory buildings, as well as a large stock of chairs (mostly unique pieces).
From this initiative was born the project of the Conservatoire de la Cité du Meuble. An association is now in charge of listing and restoring the thousands of chairs found in the attics. The most interesting ones are exhibited and the museum is gradually being created.
