About Jean-Michel Frank
Jean-Michel Frank decorated the homes of the intellectual and artistic elite of his time and enjoyed the glory of the pre-war period. He is distinguished by his minimalism and the simplicity of his forms. Luxury and rare materials mixed with new raw materials considered inferior in his time also mark his work. Completely forgotten after the war, he was gradually rediscovered by dealers, historians and collectors in the 1960s. Yves Saint Laurent contributed greatly to his rediscovery, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. About Jacques Adnet
Architect and designer, Jacques Adnet is one of the great figures of French Modernism. He began his career at the Galeries Lafayette, before becoming the director of the Compagnie des Arts Français for over 30 years. Influenced by functionalism, he created strong furniture, often devoid of any decoration. He was one of the first designers to incorporate glass, ceramics and metal into his work, often in collaboration with his twin brother, Jean. About Jean Després
Jean Després was one of the most innovative artists of the 1920s and 1930s in the field of jewelry and goldsmithing. Resolutely modern, Jean Després' style followed the artistic proliferation that accompanied the advances in techniques of the 1920s, revolutionizing fashion in its own way. He was recognized for creating works with harmonious lines and the quality of their execution, and won numerous international awards and titles during his lifetime.
