Son of Russian emigrants, Michel Zadounaisky moved to France in 1916.
In 1920, he discovered wrought iron work by joining the Fournet chandelier factory. He also devotes himself to embossing in the round, that is to say the confrontation with metal with the sole tool of a hammer, and with the help of fire, techniques in which he is a past master. In 1924, he opened his first studio in Lyon and worked there until 1953, when he became one of the emblematic figures of Lyon's decorative arts.
From the 1930s, his theme was personalized, and appeared a whole bestiary of animals sometimes bordering on the fantastic and the strange.
Naturalized in 1948, Michel Zadounaisky continues to create, in close and intimate collaboration with Buer (binder) and Dumaine (glassmaker), objects intended for a wealthy and enlightened clientele. Eager to abolish the boundary between the liberal arts and the useful arts, he is a craftsman, an artist, and perhaps the only Art Deco iron sculptor. Michel Zadounaïsky, proclaims: "Artistic ironwork is a complete profession, it takes biceps, it takes brains. My work and my life are one."
From 1937, Michel Zadounaisky's reputation spread. He won the silver medal at the International Exhibition of Arts and Techniques in Paris, then the gold medal for French Craftsmanship.
