Table by Joseph André Motte
About the Item
Joseph-André Motte (1925 - 2013) was an interior architect and one of the leading figures of French design in the 1950s and 1960s.
At the École des arts appliqués à l'industrie (now ENSAAMA), he studied under René Gabriel, Louis Sognot and Albert Guénot, graduating top of his class in 1948. This was his first collaboration with the Bon Marché art studio. One of his first designs, the Tripodes armchair (1949) in woven beech and rattan, quickly made him famous. In 1954, with Pierre Guariche and Michel Mortier, he founded the Atelier de recherche plastique (ARP) and also joined Groupe 4, created by Georges Charron, René-Jean Caillette, Geneviève Dangles and Alain Richard. During these years, Joseph-André Motte began a collaboration with the famous publisher Steiner. He designed the legendary 740, 770 and 800 armchairs, the A6 armchair and the Bahut enfilade. Timeless pieces of French chic, elegant and refined, revisiting classicism with a modern twist.
In the field of decorative arts, he also supplied various models of luxury furniture for the Mobilier National in the 1960s. His brilliant career continued with the commissioning of several large-scale public facilities. Orly Sud airport (1958 - 1961), Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport (1974) and Lyon Satolas airport (1975), Le Havre ferry terminal (1963/1964)... Above all, from 1973 to 1983, he worked with architect Paul Andreu to renovate some 100 Paris metro stations, for which he designed the seat shells that can still be seen today. Together, they proposed a new style, known as Andreu-Motte, dominated by white and featuring the famous beveled tiles.
Joseph-André Motte shared this rich experience by teaching at a number of higher education establishments, including the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs, Camondo and the École Boulle.
