Galerie Pascal Cuisinier

Galerie Pascal Cuisinier is specialized in the generation of the first French designers. They include Pierre Guariche, Joseph-André Motte, Michel Mortier, Geneviève Dangles and Christian Defrance, Antoine Philippon and Jacqueline Lecoq, Janine Abraham and Dirk Jan Rol, André Monpoix, Alain Richard, René-Jean Caillette, and Pierre Paulin.
Since 2006, it has supported their creations designed between 1950 and 1961 as well as those of the best French designers and producers of lamps of the period (Pierre Disderot, Robert Mathieu, Jacques Biny).

Mostly born between 1925 and 1930, these first designers mainly followed similar studies at the “National School of Decorative Arts” or the “School of Arts Applied to Industry”. They shared the same views concerning choices of form and function in their production furniture. Their works are characterised by their functionality, their technical innovation and the elegance of their design. Each piece is the achievement of a conceptual research on furniture and lighting.

Located in the rue de Seine, at the heart of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, the gallery is a hybrid space, both exhibition area and laboratory of documentary research.

Its founder, Pascal Cuisinier, architect by background and art philosopher, contributes to the discovery of the avant-garde spirit of these young designers and their importance in the history of French decorative arts, through important exhibitions in Paris or at the major international exhibition locations such as Design Miami, Design Miami/Basel, PAD London, The Salon Art + Design in New York the Brafa in Brussels.
