Dining room furniture from the Villa Majorelle
by MAJORELLE, Louis, Wood
The Villa Majorelle in Nancy was the home and studio of the furniture designer Louis Majorelle. It was designed and built by the architect Henri Sauvage in 1901-1902. The building is one of the first examples of the Art Nouveau architectural style in France. It served as a showcase for Majorelle’s furniture and works of contemporary decorative artists, including ceramist Alexandre Bigot and stained glass artist Jacques Gruber.
The City of Nancy owns the Villa, purchased the dining room furniture and placed it in the Museum of the School of Nancy.
