Max Le Verrier (1891-1973) was both a sculptor and a publisher, weaving together history, craftsmanship and interior design with ingenuity and sensitivity. A true driving force behind the beauty of the Art Deco movement, Max Le Verrier left a priceless artistic legacy. Produced for the most part in the 1920s and 1930s, his creations - lamps animated by young women, angular marabouts and monkeys with umbrellas, among others - embody French refinement and remain surprisingly modern.

Based on the archives of the House of Max Verrier, this first monograph devoted exclusively to the life and work of the artist pays tribute to the man and his company, which continues today, under the leadership of his great-grandson, Damien Blanchet, to manufacture, to the highest standards, the creations of Max Le Verrier and his editions by various sculptors. The book offers a panorama of 100 years of lighting design and objects, unfailingly combining the stylistic purity and formal elegance that made Max Le Verrier internationally renowned.
