Andre Domin & Marcel Genevriere for Maison Dominique
During the early 1920s — just as the burgeoning Art Deco movement was gaining steam — two young French furniture designers named André Domin and Marcel Genevrière established Maison Dominique. The firm's vintage armchairs, coffee tables, sideboards and other pieces are admired for their simple elegance, striking geometric forms and distinctive influences that included Cubism.
Domin was a self-taught designer, and Genevriere was a journalist who wrote for French publications such as Comoedia, L'Intransigeant and Gil Blas. They founded the maison in 1922 and exhibited at the Salon d’Automne that same year.
After a successful showing at the venue, Maison Dominique received high-profile commissions from the likes of perfume brand Houbigant and designer Jean Puiforcat. The founders’ furniture enjoyed widespread appeal for its clean lines, smooth curves, sturdy construction and decorative flourishes such as copper inlays and the integration of bronze hardware, which are common attributes of Art Deco furniture. In 1925, Maison Dominique had another strong showing at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris — the huge design fair that brought Art Deco to a global stage.
In 1926, Maison Dominique partnered with designers Jean Puiforcat, Pierre Legrain, Pierre Chareau and Raymond Templier to establish the "Group of Five." They exhibited together and collaborated on the creation of furniture and decor for the home.
Maison Dominique launched a storefront in Paris and the business flourished throughout the 1930s. The firm participated in the 1931 Paris Colonial Exposition and was commissioned to furnish four apartments aboard the luxury French ocean liner SS Normandie. In 1937, it also held a showcase at the Salon des Artistes Decorateurs in Brussels. Following World War II, Maison Dominique was commissioned by the French government to design furniture for Élysée Palace.
Domin left Maison Dominique in 1953 and entrusted it to his son, Alain Domin. In 1962, the company once again designed furniture for a first-class luxury apartment on the SS Normandie. Domin and Genevriere passed away in 1962 and 1967, respectively. The company they created continued to operate under Alain until the 1970s.

In the 1880 – 1940 there was a grate wave of immigration encouraged by the periods of war that were taking place. 1st World War took place between 1914 and 1918 2nd World War took place between 1939 and 1945 The immigrants options were New York or Buenos Aires. Tickets were cheap and in Buenos Aires they were welcomed with open arms, as it was a country where everything was still to be done. Argentina was the country of new opportunities, labour was needed and religious freedom was assured, in many cases the of the family travel first until they were settled and then the rest of the family members join them. In the immigrant museum “Ellis Island Immigrant Building” in New York you can se the promotional posters of the boats that would take them to a new life. Between the years 1895 and 1896, Argentina had the highest DGP (gross domestic product) per capita in the world according to the Maddison Historical Statistics index, this situation arose due to the large amount of food being exported to European countries, which were at war. The Argentinean ships left the port of Buenos Aires with food, but they returned with furniture, clothes and construction elements, (it´s common to see this the old buildings of the historic neighbourhood of San Telmo, the beams with the inscription “Made in England)”, as well as many markets that were built in Buenos Aires, such us the San Telmo Market, whose structure was brought by ship and afterwards assembled in 900 Defensa Street. With the great influence of European immigrants living in the country, the children of the upper classes travelled to study in France, resulting in the inauguration of “La Maison Argentinienne”, on 27th of June 1928, in the international city of Paris, which hosted many Argentinians that were studying in Frace. It´s the fourth house to be built after France, Canada and Belgium, being the first Spanish-speaking one. Still in place today (17 Bd Jourdan, 75014, Paris, France). Many of the children of these wealthy families who attended international art exhibitions, museums and art courses abroad, took a keen interest in the European style. This is why Buenos Aires was at the time referred as “The Paris of South America”. Between the years 1890 and 1920 more than a hundred Palaces were built on Alvear Avenue the most exclusive avenue in Buenos Aires. Today some of these palaces have been transformed into museums, hotels and embassies. In the year 1936, the Kavanagh building was inaugurated, it was the tallest reinforced concrete building in South America. During 1994 the American Society of Civil Engineers distinguished it as an “international engineering milestone”, and it´s now considered a World Heritage of Modern Architecture. At the time was common to hire foreign architects such as Le Corbusier, who visited Buenos Aires/Argentina in 1929 and in 1948 he drew up the blueprints for a house built in La Plata City (which was declared a World Heritage Site). In 1947, the Hungarian architect Marcelo Breuer designed “Parador Ariston” in the seaside city of Mar del Plata. After an Argentinean student at Harvard University convinced him to come to Argentina. He worked on an urban development project in the Casa Amarilla, area of La Boca. The Ukrainian architect, Vladimiro Acosta, arrives in Argentina in 1928 and worked as an architect until que moved to Brazil.
