DESIGN ICON: ANDREE PUTMAN

Speaking of art deco, and Jeanne Lanvin, please note the amazing Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann case piece at the rear of the photo of Andree Putman’s apartment that once belonged to and was made for Jeanne Lanvin’s office.

Not only is the room designed by Putman exquisite, the piece chosen as the focal point of the room is one of the most beautiful examples of art deco design, by one of it’s greatest masters, Mr. Rhulmann.

Like Jeanne Lanvin, Andree Putman exhibits exquisite elegance and style, personally and in her design work now and eternally.

One should not be separated from the other, as sophistication comes full circle. From one creator to the next, we now move on to a contemporary artist, Robert Knoke who created the ever striking Andree Putman portrait above.

Great minds are drawn to one another across space and time,

As I said … 

FULL CIRCLE

Xx!
