Product description
Beautiful dining table by Jacques Adnet, designed circa 1950. It features of an oakwood table top resting on a metal structure clad in red tile leather with contrasting stitching. The piece perfectly illustrates Adnet’s signature approach, balancing rigor and warmth. The leather is original and has been carefully restored in our workshop, with a beautiful patina. As a dining table or a large desk, it brings an elegant and confident presence to any interior.
Jacques Adnet (1900–1984) was a French designer and interior architect known for his elegant, modernist style. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and from an early age was interested in Art Deco modernism, a movement that rejected the excessive ornamentation of Art Nouveau and advocated simple, functional lines. In the 1920s, he founded a company with his twin brother, Jean Adnet, where they created furniture using simple geometric shapes and high-quality materials. In 1928, he was appointed director of the Compagnie des Arts Français (CAF), and helped the institution adopt a contemporary approach. His designs combined industrial materials, such as glass and metal, with simple, clean lines. In the 1950s, by collaborating with the luxury house Hermès, he reaffirmed his status as a pioneer of refined 20th-century French design.
