Jean-Michel Frank / Assouline

During the 1920s and 1930s, Jean-Michel Frank, the self-made man of design, invented his own unique style, which became a benchmark of minimalism, daringly new for the time. Collaborating with the best artists, including Alberto Giacometti and Christian B�rard, Frank designed interiors for patrons such as Marie-Laure and Charles de Noailles, Nelson Rockefeller, and Elsa Schiaparelli. Just like the timeless little black dress, many of Frank's furnishings still have the power to transform a space with understated elegance and continue to inspire. This book tells the story and shows the creations of one of the most important designers of the twentieth century.
