"Blackened wood cabinet", Georges Henri Laurent (1880-1940)

About the Item

Georges Henri Laurent (1880–1940) was a French decorative artist and painter, active during the first half of the 20th century. A member of the Union des Artistes Modernes (UAM) alongside figures such as Robert Mallet-Stevens and Le Corbusier, he contributed to the revival of decorative arts in France with a modernist spirit. He stood out for his work in furniture, interior decoration, and textile design, embracing clean and functional forms in line with the UAM's principles. His work reflects a pursuit of harmony between utility and aesthetics.
