Nest of Tables original design by: Eugene Gaillard French, circa 1903Material - Teak High 65 cm Wide 45 cm Deep 45 cm Price £1730.00 Eugene Gaillard (1862-1933) Furniture designer typical of the Parisian school - plain, bold outlines and well balanced proportions in furniture made of fruitwoods. Gaillard rejected a career in law to take up interior design and decoration. Siegfried Bing employed him alongside Georges de Feure and Edouard Colonna to create interiors for his pavilion at the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition. The abstract natural forms of his furniture reflected a mistrust of historicism and he became a vocal advocate of modern design. Around 1903 he left Bing's atelier and set up his own firm. In 1906 he published A Propos du Mobilier (On Furniture). |
