FASSEN
26 AVENUE D'ANTIN CHAIR
Buy nowPrecursor of Parisian elegance, passionate collector, promoter of the avant-garde, Paul Poiret created the Martine school in 1912 to infuse new forms into the applied arts. This was followed by the creation of the Martine workshops and publishing house. This chair takes up the geometric lattice motif omnipresent in the gardens of his private mansion, which overlooked Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and had a garden-side entrance on Avenue D’Antin. This address was the venue for festivities orchestrated by the couturier and attended by the Tout-Paris of the Belle Époque.
