About the Item

Jacques Hitier was a French decorator and furniture designer born in Paris on March 28, 1917, and died in La Frette-sur-Seine on March 6, 19991. Patrick Favardin describes him as "one of the most endearing figures of this republic of decorative arts in the second half of the 20th century "2. A decorative artist associated with the École Boulle, after the Second World War he specialized in the creation of industrial furniture for small communities and homes, which he presented at the Salon des artistes décorateurs and the Salon des arts ménagers. In addition to his usual work as a decorator equipping small communities and private interiors5, Jacques Hitier worked for 15 years with the industrialist Tubauto, designing numerous furniture models, mainly in metal tubing combined with soft materials such as wood, fabric or rattan. At the time, this proximity between a decorator and an industrialist was unique.
