The artists whose designs are included in this volume are mostly very well-known. René Gabriel specialized in series of furniture, and his clean style was an inspiration to many mid-century designers. He also made block-printed wallpaper in the 1920s. The Prix René Gabriel continues to be awarded to French designers for modern designs that can be mass-produced. Genet et Michon set up a joint design firm in 1911 that by 1919 was specializing in lighting fixtures and other decorative glass items. Georges Champion was a French Modernist designer who served as the artistic director of Studio Gue, the decorating department of Georges et Gaston Guerin in Paris. He also exhibited at the 1925 Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes, and won a gold medal at the 1937 Paris Exposition. They all exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs. A beautiful suite of designs for domestic interiors; scarce institutionally.
