Jean-Michel Frank

See photo 5 for content.

Jean-Michel Frank (1895-1941) was a French interior designer known for his minimalist interiors, decorated with sleek yet luxurious furniture made from high-end materials such as shagreen, mica, and intricate straw marquetry. He had an eye for exotic patterns, especially in veneer, including snake and shark skin. His work gained great fame in the 1930s, when a select group from the upper classes adored his furniture. He is associated with the Art Deco movement.
This is a very welcome publication, a biography and monograph about the work of this important designer. The collaborations with Alberto Giacometti, Christian Berard, the Schiaparelli showroom, and the Rockefeller apartments are covered.
This book testifies to meticulousness and timelessness and makes us believe that Jean-Michel Frank was more than just a decorator; he was a pioneer who, starting with a piece of furniture, became an architect and also an innovator.

Wonderful document from a beautiful period with hundreds of illustrations. (see photos)
