Louis Majorelle studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1877, in 1879 he took over the furniture and ceramics factory of his father. After the Universal Exhibition of 1889, he abandoned the classical style and began to search for his own style. Louis Majorelle, French cabinetmaker, born in Toul in 1859 - Died in Nancy in 1926. He took over from his father Auguste (1825-1879), when he died, interrupting his studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris where he studied under the teaching of Jean-François Millet. It was converted to Art Nouveau by Émile Gallé. He was the most important representative of the School of Nancy from 1894. His work is characterized by the use of naturalistic elements in its shapes and marquetry. It evolves towards simpler and more stripped forms shortly after its great success at the Universal Exhibition of 1900 and at the same time launches into mass production which allows it to quickly enrich its catalog. He collaborates mainly with Jacques Gruber. He opened many showrooms, notably in Paris, Lyon and Oran, one of which was bought from Samuel Bing. His creations are sold all over the world. The most common furniture is the work of the workshops entrusted to Pierre Majorelle in Bouxières aux Dames in 1905 It continued in the same style after the 1914 war despite the change in fashion towards Art Deco. Daum (French establishment created in 1878) is a glass and crystal workshop located in Nancy. Founded by the industrialist and notary Jean Daum, the workshop was then taken over by his sons Auguste and Antonin, who ran it during the Art Nouveau period. It was not until the Universal Exhibition of 1900 that the company was at the forefront of the decorative art scene, when Daum received the prestigious Grand Prix medal. At this time, Daum glass became more complex, acid treatment was often used in the cutting, enameling and etching of a piece to produce glass masterpieces. Daum also produces applied glass elements, such as handles and ornamental motifs in naturalistic shapes. The Daum brothers quickly became big names in Art Nouveau, rivaling the famous designer Émile Gallé, and established themselves as leaders in the field of decorative glass after his death. In 1906, Daum revived glass paste, a process by which glass is transformed into paste, then it is applied to the surface of a mold and fired. This technique originates from ancient Egypt. Today, Daum is the only industrial crystal manufacturer that uses the glass paste process for its glass objects and crystal sculptures. Following the First World War, Paul Daum began to develop works in the Art Deco style, moving away from naturalistic forms and turning to linear, angular, simplified forms and geometric patterns characteristic of the movement. After the Second World War, Henri and Michel Daum became interested in the transparency of glass and pure lines. Daum collaborates with a large number of famous artists, such as Louis Majorelle, Salvador Dalí, Hilton Mac Connico, Elizabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti to create glass paste objects.
