The Elephant Armchair designed by Jean-Michel Frank was specially created in 1939 for the lobby of the Llao Llao Hotel in Buenos Aires.
“You can furnish a room very luxuriously by unfurnishing it” is probably one of Frank’s most famous quotes, highlighting his taste for minimalism: some of his most iconic interiors are indeed marked by sparingly arranged furniture and creamy whites all around. This hallmark of non-colours was most emphasised by the iconic salon that Frank decorated for Marie-Laure and Charles de Noailles’s hôtel particulier in Paris. Panels of parchment on the walls, compact white armchairs, straw-marquetry side tables, lamps made of quartz, and stunning bronze doors: the room immortalised by Man Ray’s black-and-white photographs has become the paradigm of sophistication.
