A scholarly monograph on Süe et Mare, the influential French design practice founded by Louis Süe and André Mare, and its associated Compagnie des arts français. The book examines the firm’s role in shaping early twentieth-century French taste, from furniture and interiors to decorative objects and architectural settings. Its focus on Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and the transition between them makes it a useful reference for historians of modern design and collectors of French decorative arts. The study places the firm within the broader cultural and commercial world of Parisian design, tracing how artists, craftsmen, patrons, and exhibitions helped define a distinctly French modern style. With attention to materials, forms, ornament, and interior ensembles, it offers insight into the collaborative nature of decorative arts production and the ways design firms presented complete aesthetic environments to clients. This edition serves as both a historical survey and a visual resource, documenting the work of Süe et Mare and the Compagnie des arts français through a design-historical lens.
