Prou, René (1889-1947)
The French decorator and designer became the design house Gouffe's chief designer. Called the first decorator of the modern taste, he contributed to the Art Deco movement's expansion. He took part, in 1926, to the luxurious decoration of the Orient Express's Pullman Cars to which he applied rare wooden marquetries and precious Chinese lacquers. Fuelled by classical forms, he nevertheless contributed to modern design by participating to the decoration of various ocean liners and the Villa Noailles.
