Description
Jacques Adnet (1900-1984) was a French architect and designer who began his career in one of the earliest modern art workshops, La Maîtrise, directed by Maurice Dufrêne. In 1928, Jacques Adnet became the head of the Compagnie des Arts Français and collaborated with numerous artists such as Picasso, Dunand, and Perriand. Thanks to his works featuring clean, simple motifs and the use of new materials like glass and metal, he is considered one of the main representatives of French modernism and Art Deco.
