The École Boulle is named after the cabinetmaker André-Charles Boulle who is generally considered to be the preeminent artist in the field of marquetry in the century of Louis XIV. The school trains students from the Applied Arts « Baccalauréat » (French national secondary-school diploma required to pursue university studies for 18 years old students) to the « DSAA » (4 years degree in applied arts after the « Baccalauréat », equivalent to the first year of a Master's degree in European LMD[disambiguation needed 
] system). There are 2 different DSAA (« Diplôme Supérieur d'Arts Appliqués »), related to 2 different departments : Spatial Design and Industrial Design.
