Alain Richard, discreet modernist elegance
Alain Richard (1926-2017) belongs to that generation of French designers trained at the École Boulle who rebuilt domestic furniture after the war. A founding member of the Atelier de Recherches Plastiques with Pierre Guariche, René-Jean Caillette and Joseph-André Motte, he signed for thirty years for publishers Meubles TV, Pierre Disderot, Steiner and Meurop sideboards, bookshelves, tables and lamps of rare geometric precision. A confidential body of work, today rediscovered for what it is: great French modernist design.
The Alain Richard sideboard from Meubles TV, his modular bookshelves and Disderot desk lamps remain his most recognisable pieces. French vintage furniture to find for those wanting precise modernist design, without cliché, at still accessible prices.
