Provenance: Restaurant DROUANT, Paris, France. Circa 1960
Drouant Restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants in Paris.
Located at 16-18, Place Gaillon in Paris. Begun in 1880 as a small bistro, the Restaurant Drouant was soon frequented by literary and artistic figures including Daudet, Rodin, Pissarro, and Renoir, who would dine together there on Friday nights, paving the way for the restaurant's reputation as a locus of intellectual and artistic life in Paris. Since 1914, the French literary organization l'Académie Goncourt has met in the salon Drouant, and continues to announce its famous annual prize, "Le Prix de Goncourt'' from the Ruhlmann designed wrought iron staircase installed there.
For the Drouant project, Ruhlmann worked with architect Boileau, with whom he also worked at the Théâtre de la Michodière nearby. As an ensemblier, Ruhlmann's designs for the Drouant included the furniture, walls, staircase, ceiling (with fresco by Jean Cocteau), and wall sconces, thus he created a harmonious interior with complementary colors, forms and textures.
The Drouant was a significant commission for Ruhlmann and yielded one of his most well-known designs, the dining chair, known as the "Drouant" chair which he designed in 1924 and later exhibited in his "hotel du Collectionneur" pavilion at the Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes in 1925.
