Jean-Michel Frank


Auteur(s) : Laure Verchère

Jean-Michel Frank (1895-1941) never attended a school of architecture or design, yet during the 1920s and 1930s this self-made interior designer honed and perfected his own unique style, which became a benchmark of Art Deco sophistication. He used a great variety of material: gold, silk, marble, wood veneers, straw marquetry, parchment, leather... Collaborating with the best artists of the time, including Alberto Giacometti and Christian Bérard, Frank designed and art directed streamlined yet sumptuous interiors for notable patrons from Marie-Laure and Charles de Noailles, Nelson Rockefeller, and Elsa Schiaparelli to French institutions like the Comédie Française and the Hôtel Crillon.

This volume tells the story and shows the creations of one of the most influential designers of the twentieth century.
