In celebration of the upcoming holiday season this #Brantdesignpost, features some of the most iconic modernist furniture designers. The colors and coziness of this interior remind us of the Holiday warmth we are all seeking this year. Jean Prouve, who was known for his industrial designs (center coffee table) is balanced with the organic forms of Jean Royere’s Ours Polaire couch set and his Ambassador chairs from the 1950’s. In this harmonious composition we find pieces by Diego Giacometti, Serge Mouille, and Paavo Tynell - all designers who created in an industrial medium but had a certain fluidity in their design approach. Sitting on the left side of the image is Piero Fornasetti’s Giardino Settecentesco Wardrobe from 1954, designed for his personal bedroom (also referred to as the “yellow bedroom”) at Villa Varenna, his family’s vacation home on Lake Como. This beautifully intricate cabinet, designed in a Neoclassical style, is illusionistic through its repetition of Fornsetti's dreamlike imagery. Hanging diagonally across from the wardrobe is a Paavo Tynell floral chandelier originally designed in 1945 for The Stock Exchange Building in Helsinki, Finland. #brantdesign #happyholidays Furniture: Ours Polaire sofa and chair set, Jean Royere Ambassador Armchairs, (1950's)Jean Royere Low Table (1955) Jean Prouve Lamp (1936) Diego Giacometti Three Arm Lampadaire, Serge Mouille Small end table, Jean Dunand Fireplace, (1950's) Jean Dunand Chandelier (1945) Paavo Tynell
