Sue et Mare
Louis Süe was a man of many artistic talents who excelled in a range of disciplines in the Parisian design scene of the early 20th century. A painter, furniture maker, decorator and architect, Süe drew on traditional design but sought to make modernist work. This was especially true of his partnership with unsung French artist and textile designer André Mare.
Süe's best known furniture designs included wall mirrors, console tables and armchairs, and his interior designs spanned private residences and passenger liners. One of the most significant partnerships of Süe's career was with Mare, with whom Süe became acquainted while working at an interior design firm called L’Atelier Français.
In 1919–20, Süe and Mare, known as Süe et Mare, founded the Compagnie des Arts Français, which specialized in furniture, tapestries, wallpaper and silverware. The founders intended to draw on 18th-century furniture to create modern works — they were inspired by Cubism and Art Nouveau and produced forward-looking Art Deco designs that are widely celebrated today.
Inspired by the work of Austrian collective Wiener Werkstätte, Süe and Mare grew a successful business at the Compagnie des Arts Français, mass-producing furnishings and objects, taking on a range of wealthy clients and employing artists such as Marie Laurencin, Paul Vera and Fernand Léger (Mare and Léger had previously shared a studio). One of their interior design projects was the Polish Embassy in Paris. In 1925, Süe and Mare designed the Fontaine & Cie Pavilion at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris, which featured works by André Groult, Maurice Dufrêne and others.
The Compagnie des Arts Français struggled financially toward the end of the 1920s and was sold to the owners of the French department store Galeries Lafayette. Jacques Adnet, who was working with Dufrêne at the decorative arts atelier of Galeries Lafayette, was appointed artistic director of the Compagnie and steered the firm in a different direction.
In 2021, around 30 pieces of furniture by Süe et Mare from the estate of German-born fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld went to auction at Sotheby's. Many of Süe's designs are held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
