Galerie ALAIN MARCELPOIL

Since 2006, Alain Marcelpoil has been working to rediscover the work of André Sornay, cabinetmaker, interior designer and decorator from Lyon. Art Deco furniture with pure, elegant lines, harmonious proportions, where the use of metal, lacquer and precious wood is combined with a rational management of space.

A resolutely modern, personal and particularly innovative work. Thus, during the crisis of 1929, this inventive creator uses his technique of nailing to produce “pieces of art at low prices, unique pieces”, produced in small series. Ingenious way to democratize art like the craftsmen of the Union of Modern Artists. (U.A.M.).

Remaining away from the public for a long time, André Sornay is now recognized as a major player in the decorative arts and Alain Marcelpoil also presents other artists from the Art Deco period in his gallery as well as at PAD Paris, PAD London, and TEFAF in New York.
