CHARLES PLUMET (1861-1928) and TONY SELMERSHEIM (1871-1971), both French architects and designers who were active in Paris, were partners in furniture design during the Art Nouveau period. They both, as well, had illustrious design careers individually - and Tony Selmersheim collaborated on furniture, furnishings, lighting and interior decor with his brother, Pierre as well. Tony showed his furniture ensembles from 1897, including at the 1900 Paris “Exposition Universelle”. He won first prize in the 1912 competition for the office of the president of the municipal council of Paris. His later reknown included furniture and decor (with his brother) for a first-class cabin on the 1935 oceanliner Normandie. // Plumet worked in the Art Nouveau style before World War I and in 1903 was a founding member of the Salon d’Automne. He designed furniture exhibited at the annual salons, as well as designing elegant townhouses. He was also chief architect of the 1925 Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes - these days shortened to simply “Art Deco”.
