by Jean-Michel Frank
£42,500
Console Table, circa 1935
Painted iron, leather
Produced by Comte, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Together with a certificate of authenticity from the Comité Jean-Michel Frank.
Despite being coined as a minimalist, Jean-Michel Frank (1895-1941) was surprisingly multidimensional in his work. His simplest of designs were elevated using mica, bleached leather, shagreen, and vellum to give them 'great elegance'. Revered as the undisputed champion of Modernist French Design, Frank is best known for his subtle, refined forms and hallmark non-colours.
Over his career, Jean-Michel Frank built up an impressive roster of patrons including Elise Schiaparelli, Nelson A. Rockefeller, and Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain.
