Focillon
Focillon is a not-for-profit consultancy based in France. A global team of academics & artists making culture more accessible and decision-making more Humanities-centered.
“The Humane Club team is responsive, precise, kind. They knew when to adapt to our ideas and when to challenge us. We owe them our website vessel but somehow more than that. Part of our project’s identity as well.”
Michael Benhamou, Founder 🇫🇷
