Jean Michel Frank Armchair

Born in France in 1895, Jean Michel Frank became one of Paris’ most significant designers. Influenced at an early age by artisans throughout Paris, his classic style of interior design developed quickly.

Jean Michel Frank’s lounge pieces are comprised of elegant, luxurious, clean lines. The use of simple square and block shapes in his lounge pieces creates a rich and powerful statement.

The Jean Michel Frank Armchair was believed to have been created in 1930 and was only verifiable in photographs of interiors that he created. Jean Michel Frank never considered mass production and, as a result, never took authorship of his designs, including this armchair. Despite that fact, Jean Michel Frank would exert influence on the taste of the period, and that his reinterpretation of existing designs characterized them to the point that they seemed his own.
