Jean-Jacques, his son, joins the workshop after studying at the Ecole du Louvre. Together, they open a new workshop on rue du Parc Royal and launch their first range of lamps.
The workshop introduces trompe l'oeil decoration and continues to create new models, which it presents at the Salon des Métiers d'Art.
Created 1965 to 1997
Jean-Jacques perfected trompe-l'oeil decoration and introduced decorative motifs reminiscent of the symmetrical forms of 17th-century classical architecture.
The workshop wins over the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for whom it decorates embassies and consulates all over the world. In the Middle East, it's the royal families who love the refined craftsmanship and vibrant colors.
Before retiring from the workshop, Jean-Jacques passed on his know-how to his son François, who was then embarking on a promising career in sommellerie. At the same time, he learnt turning with Thierry Fouquet, and also trained in modeling and drawing at the Beaux-Arts workshops in Paris.

François takes over the Place des Vosges workshop and redesigns the emblematic models of the 1950s.
One vernissage followed another, and the success was overwhelming. The general public rediscovered the workshop's know-how and artistic heritage, as well as François' own creations, such as the Algue and Folies Bergères collections, faithful to Jean Roger's naturalist and exotic aesthetic.
In the United States, demand for Jean Roger ceramics is growing. Kate Rheinstein Brodsky's New York decorating boutique (KRN NYC), a steadfast partner for over ten years, is helping to rediscover Jean Roger's collections.
A period of collaboration begins with interior designer Laura Gonzalez, for whom the atelier produces the Acropora and Bosphore candleholder collections.
In 2018, Jean Roger returns to the House of Dior with a palm tree candlestick that François revisits especially for the occasion.
Maison Jaune is also a loyal collaborator of the atelier, which it particularly appreciates for its matte white enamel lamp models.

But it was also the famous shoe designer Christian Louboutin who gave him the opportunity to take on technical challenges, such as the monumental fountain created especially for the new Saks Fifth Avenue boutique in New York.
The house of Diptyque gave the studio the opportunity to produce unique creations for the decoration of its boutiques, notably the one on New Bond Street, opened in London.
His sisters joined the family adventure: Marguerite supervised a workshop in the South-West, while the eldest, Roseline, ran the company. Today, the distribution network is expanding across the Atlantic, particularly in regions such as Florida, Texas and Tennessee.
