Jean Royère was born in 1902 and was a French furniture and interior designer.
He began his professional life in international trade, but at 29, he decided to radically change course and dedicate himself to interior and furniture design, learning as a self-taught individual.
Starting in the 1940s and 50s, his style flourished and achieved great international recognition.
He experimented with a wide range of materials, including noble woods (like walnut, maple), metals (brass, bronze, wrought iron), lacquers, wicker, rattan, velvet, bouclé wool, and leathers. He liked to combine textures and finishes.
He worked for an elite international clientele, including the Royal Family of Iran (decorating the Summer Palace), King Farouk of Egypt, King Hussein of Jordan, and numerous high-society figures and art world personalities. He also opened branches in the Middle East and South America.
