The Five Galleries That Make the French Design Market
Downtown, Jousse, Kreo, Chastel-Maréchal, Pascal Cuisinier: the Paris map where real design changes hands, with provenance.
1 MIN · 5 OBJECTS IDENTIFIEDIn Paris, five galleries make the collectible design market: this is where Prouvé, Perriand and Royère pass through, alongside the pieces of tomorrow. The map, and what each one stands for.
Downtown – François Laffanour
Rue de Seine. The benchmark for Prouvé, Perriand, Jeanneret and Nakashima. The top tier of French mid-century, with documented provenance.
Jousse Entreprise
Prouvé, Matégot, Royère: post-war French design, often with an attribution file. Marais and Pantin.
Galerie Kreo
Contemporary collectible design (Bouroullec, Charpin): the gallery that makes tomorrow's icons.
Chastel-Maréchal & Pascal Cuisinier
The first for Royère, Line Vautrin and rare decorative arts; the second for the rising French designers of the 1950s (Guariche, Motte). Patrick Seguin, for his part, remains the Prouvé reference in his own right.
