Jean-Michel Frank
Jean-Michel Frank (1895-1941) was the defining genius of interwar French decorative arts, celebrated for a philosophy of luxe pauvre: humble, tactile materials elevated through pure geometry and impeccable craftsmanship.
The Soleil 1930 Coffee Table, designed by Jean-Michel Frank and re-edited by Ecart, distills the decorator’s belief that even the humblest materials could be transformed into objects of quiet opulence. Its sunburst pattern radiates outward from the center of the tabletop, a geometric composition that captures light and movement within a single still surface, embodying the luxe pauvre philosophy that made Frank’s interiors so radically modern.
Each tabletop is hand-crafted in natural straw marquetry by master marqueteur Lison de Caunes, using the historic Soleil technique in which individual straws are split, flattened and laid by hand to catch the light like woven gold. The table is also available in natural oak, and because the straw is a living, natural material, every piece carries its own subtle variations in tone and sheen.

“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.
