Jacques Adnet (born 1900) was a prominent French designer, architect, and interior decorator.
He trained at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, where he studied architecture. He and his brother Jean worked for La Maîtrise, the decorative arts branch of the famous Parisian department store Printemps.
In 1925, the duo presented a series of furniture pieces at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts.
In the late 1920s, he took over the firm Sue et Mare. He often collaborated with his twin brother Jean, who created the famous windows for Galeries Lafayette.
He was one of the first to integrate metal and glass into the structure and decoration of furniture. In 1950, Hermès hired him to design a collection of leather-clad furniture and interior accessories.
