Designer louis majorelle

Louis Majorelle was a French cabinetmaker and decorator:

  1. Starting in the 1890s, influenced by Émile Gallé, he adopted the emerging Art Nouveau style.


Majorelle worked with Daum, a French glassmaker who supplied him with small plaques of glass paste to incorporate into his furniture. The collaboration continued even in the field of producing lamps integrated with glass and metal featuring Art Nouveau motifs.


  1. His work triumphed at the 1900 Paris Universal Exposition, which earned him international recognition and a distinguished clientele.


  1. He opened stores in Nancy, Paris, Lyon, and Lille.
