What is Jean Dunand famous for?
1 Answer

Jean Dunand is famous for his work as a designer. A prolific talent, he was one of the most extraordinary and emblematic designers of the early 20th century. He produced well over a thousand Art Deco works in an almost dizzying array of media. He is best remembered for his exquisite creations in lacquer and metal, but he also worked as a sculptor, mosaicist, portraitist and goldsmith. The Swiss-born Parisian designer imagined jewelry, tapestries and fabrics for haute couture and, during World War I, even a helmet for soldiers with an adjustable visor.
