Ecart
Beyond its historic re-editions, Ecart Design continues to create its own pieces guided by the same philosophy of ‘luxe pauvre’ — noble simplicity achieved through honest materials, careful proportion and the refusal of superfluous ornament, so that each object earns its place in a room through clarity of form rather than decoration.
The Folding Table distills Ecart’s modernist inheritance into its purest form: a simple geometric silhouette in lacquered beech that folds flat, echoing the era of Jean-Michel Frank and Eileen Gray when furniture was designed to serve a room’s changing needs rather than dominate it permanently. Andrée Putman founded the house in 1978 precisely to keep that spirit of functional elegance alive.
Finished in matt black lacquer — with a glossy version also available — the table’s surface reflects light with a cool, disciplined restraint. Compact and mobile, it can appear beside a sofa one evening and disappear the next morning, a small everyday object carrying a large design philosophy.

Founded in the late seventies, Ecart is the brainchild of the ineffable Andrée Putman, the brilliant aesthete who singlehandedly revived the neglected work of some great designers from the 1930s, including René Herbst, Jean-Michel Frank, Pierre Chareau and Eileen Gray. Following her instinct informed by her unique taste, Putman made the rather counterintuitive choice of re-editing some iconic designs from the past, despite the fact that, at the time, the business of furniture was all about newness.
