In addition, Stéphane Boudin (1888-1967) joined the company as director and chief designer. In 1930, Maison Jansen's five-story workshop in Paris used more than 700 highly qualified artisans and would use many famous designers, including Pierre Delbée, Carlos Ortiz-Cabrera, Francis Chaillou, Serge Robin, Henri Samuel, Claude Mandron, Arthur Kouwenhoven, etc.
