Jean Puiforcat

An eminent figure of the age, he was also active in all the creative circles of the 1920s: he could be seen at the decorative arts fair and the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts and alongside René Herbst, Charlotte Perriand and Le Corbusier. He was also a co-founder  of the Union des Artistes Modernes, created in 1929 by Robert Mallet-Stevens. However, unlike his illustrious architect friends, neither Jean Puiforcat nor his work ever ventured into austerity: their simple lines were adorned with exotic wood, shagreen and other luxurious finery. Regularly reproduced,  today his work continues  to reflect the spirit of the House, even in its contemporary collections. Puiforcat's vision of Art Deco is timeless. It will continue to inspire lovers of fine objects d'art for many years to come.
