The Legacy of Pierre Patout Video Event

About the Program:

Pierre Patout – a major figure in French architecture and decorative arts in the first half of the 20th century – is best known for his architectural work. Like his close friend, decorator Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann, Patout embodies the idea of a certain luxe à la française. His long career is marked by his contributions to the Paris Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes in 1925 which included the Concorde Gate, the pavilion of the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres with its monumental vases, and the Townhouse of a Wealthy Collector. He went on to create what the French dubbed le style paquebot with his interiors for the ocean liners Ile-de-France, l’Atlantique, and the most famous, Normandie. From there he continued to design for World’s Fairs, including the French pavilion for the 1939 New York World’s Fair.
