Jean-michel frank - leather-covered side table

In the style of JEAN-MICHEL FRANK (1895-1941) Elegant rectangular side table known as "Parsons" with a wooden core entirely covered in leather. French work. Dimensions: H. 38 cm - W. 55 cm - D. 40 cm. In usable condition (slight wear, small marks of time, patina). Careful shipping or hand delivery in Lyon. Of great formal sobriety, this side table perfectly illustrates the refined and minimalist aesthetic characteristic of French furniture from the 1930s. The balance of proportions, the nobility of materials, and the purity of lines reflect a quest for the essential, where every detail contributes to a silent and timeless elegance. Biographical elements. Decorator and major creator, Jean-Michel Frank is one of the most influential figures in French decorative style of the 1920s-1930s. He developed a radically minimalist formal language, favouring simple volumes, clean lines, and precious materials treated with restraint (leather, parchment, shagreen, straw, brushed and limed oak, etc.). Collaborating with the best craftsmen of his time, he designed interiors of discreet luxury with perfect silence, for a demanding clientele of aristocrats, intellectuals, or wealthy industrialists. His work, now highly sought after, embodies a minimalist modernity of rare sophistication.
