One of the most elegant and innovative 20th-century French furniture designers, Jacques Adnet created a simple, unadorned signature style that is both trim and vigorous. He began his career in the heyday of the Art Deco era, and in the 1950s, in association with Hermès, created chairs, lamps, desks, and other pieces that employed slender metal frames clad in stitched saddle leather. With such furnishings, Adnet brought a fashion sensibility to design and decor that had not been seen since the 1920s prime of the great Paris couturier-decorator Paul Poiret

Jacques Adnet (1900–1984)

French architect and designer combined geometric simplicity with elegance in his designs. This lamp is a testament to this. At the peak of his artistic career, he decorated the private apartments of the French President at the Elysée Palace and the meeting room of the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris.
