An ambassador of French chic, the decorator from the 1930s to the 1960s conceived of decoration as a coherent, harmonious whole. A true master of interior design, he orchestrated the crafts to serve an overall project.
His expertise is developed in places steeped in history or recently built, in which he will simultaneously inscribe and assert his style and modernity. In 2022, the Mobilier National is dedicating a major retrospective to him, drawing on his exceptional collection, the first in the world for these decades. This exhibition brings together unique pieces of remarkable quality and diversity.
The authors paint a portrait of a rich artistic period, both heir to a tradition of luxury and a precursor to contemporary design.
They introduce us to the challenges, innovations, and fashions of this era, the great moments and Universal Exhibitions, and some emblematic figures such as Jules Leleu, André Arbus, Suzanne Guiguichon, and Colette Gueden. Under the aegis of sponsors such as Jean Zay, Michelle, and Vincent Auriol, they allow us to access a series of must-see places from embassies to presidential palaces.
