Sue et Mare et la Compagnie des Arts Francais

[Sue et Mare]

Louis Süe and André Mare founded the Compagnie des Arts Français in 1919 and for the next decade they created finely-crafted furniture in a neo-classical style, bridging the gap between art nouveau and art deco. The book discusses their collaboration and designs, using many illustrations from the archives. It is the essential reference work on the designers and includes a catalogue raisonné of their furniture.
