Many of Jean-Michel Frank’s most refined pieces were designed with his close collaborator Adolphe Chanaux, the cabinetmaker who helped translate Frank’s spare vision into gouged oak, rattan and straw marquetry. Ecart International, founded by designer Andrée Putman to rescue such overlooked modernist masters, still re-edits their work from the original archives.
This 1925 piece pairs a wooden structure with a split-peel rattan weave, one of several rattan designs Frank and Chanaux developed together.
“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.
