Jacques Adnet, Upholstered Armchair, France, circa 1955

About the Item

Jacques Adnet is a distinctive figure of French 20th century design. Spanning the Art Deco period while dipping his toe into Modernism, Adnet strove to create beautiful shapes which culminated in functional pieces for everyday life. With his intriguing use of unusual materials, Adnet transcended the Art Deco tradition which nurtured him. Today, he is remembered for his elegant shapes and luxurious materials.
