Elegant shapes and luxurious materials, combined in unusual and striking ways - these details capture the attention of collectors today as much as they did the French elite in the 1920's-40s. Jacques Adnet's timeless and versatile designs bridged the divide between art deco and modernism, with his work found in such places as the French president's private quarters, the UNESCO Paris headquarters, and a special line of furniture produced for Hermes.
