The Avenue d’Antin armchair designed by couturier Paul Poiret. A precursor of Parisian elegance, Paul Poiret created the Martine school to infuse new forms into the decorative arts. This was followed by the creation of the Martine workshops and publishing house. This chair features the geometric motif of the garden trellis, a recurring motif in the festive scenes orchestrated by the couturier and attended by the Tout-Paris of the Belle Époque.
Paul Poiret (1879–1944) was a pioneering French couturier whose ideas helped shape the foundations of modern fashion. Born in Paris to a cloth merchant, he trained with Jacques Doucet before establishing his own couture house in 1903. Poiret quickly gained attention for his innovative approach to design and his belief that fashion could be both artistic and modern. During the Belle Époque, he became known not only for his clothing but also for transforming couture into a total lifestyle, creating perfumes, textiles, and interior pieces that extended his vision beyond the wardrobe. Poiret’s work was defined by its liberation from structure and its embrace of pure form.
