About the Item

Jacques Adnet
1901-1984
French Architect and Art Deco/Modernist Designer-An icon of luxurious French Modernism, Adnet was born in 1900 and grew up along with the 20th Century. He attended the Municipal School of Design in Auxerre and the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs. He exhibited at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes. Distinctly avant garde, Adnet was among the first to expect metal and glass to integrate with the structure and decoration of furniture. In 1926 he designed the salle commune of the Ile-de-France. By 1928, he had become Director of La Compagnie des Arts Français - at the age of 28. CAF provided Adnet with an ideal platform from which to promote his modernist designs. These incorporated precious woods, chromed metals, embellishments such as mirror, leather, parchment and smoked glass in linear styles with decoration pared away wherever possible. In 1970 Adnet became director of Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. He died in 1984 having created a legacy of fine design that feels “modern” even today.

This thick 2” slab of 40 year old French Burled Elm was found in the backyard of a famous French furniture maker, who unfortunately closed his doors after 60 years in business.
