Louis Majorelle
Louis Majorelle (1859-1926) was a distinguished French furniture designer, decorative artist and manufacturer who played a prominent role in the development of the Art Nouveau style. Born in Toul, France, on September 26, 1859, Majorelle was the son of a cabinetmaker. His workshop produced exquisite pieces of furniture, characterized by their sinuous lines, organic forms and intricate marquetry. Majorelle's designs often featured natural motifs such as plants, flowers and insects showcasing his appreciation for the beauty of the natural world. Majorelle collaborated with other prominent Art Nouveau artists, including Emile Galle and the Daum Brothers. As one of the founding members of the Ecole de Nancy, Majorelle helped establish Nancy as a significant center for the Art Nouveau movement. Louis Majorelle died on January 15, 1926 in Nancy, France, but his legacy as a pioneer of the Art Nouveau movement endures. His creations remain influential in the field of design and many of his pieces can be found in prestigious museums and private collections worldwide.
École de Nancy
The École de Nancy, or Nancy School, was a group of Art Nouveau artisans and designers working in Nancy, France between 1890 and 1914. Major figures included the furniture designer Louis Majorelle and glass and furniture designer Émile Gallé. Their work was largely inspired by floral and vegetal forms found in the region and the goal of the group was to produce ordinary objects, such as furniture, glassware, and pottery made with fine craftsmanship in original forms made widely accessible to the average person.
