Biography
Joseph-André Motte, France (1925-2013)
French interior designer, Joseph-André Motte is one of the great figures of French design of the 50s and 60s.
Story
A key player in high-end designer furniture since 1926, Steiner has been synonymous with talent, open-mindedness and high artistic standards for over 96 years.
1955-1964. France is in the midst of the Trente Glorieuses. Hugues Steiner chose the best designers of the time – Pierre Guariche, Joseph-André Motte, Michel Mortier and René-Jean Caillette – to give the art of seating a breath of ultra-creative functionality, always in tune with the times. The Vampire armchair by Pierre Guariche, the 740 armchair or the 800 sofa by Joseph-André Motte, the Diamant chair by René-Jean Caillette, the SF 103 chair or the M4 suspension by Michel Mortier and so many other furniture models with clean, colorful and daring lines have become cult favorites and are reissued today. -
