AN EBONIZED WOOD ARMCHAIR
"Dans cette époque où le style de l'uniprix a fait des ravages, où toute mesure est une demi-mesure, où la moindre audace prendrait figure de crime, avec quelle tendresse grave on regarde les objets et les décors de Jean-Michel Frank...Il aimait l'invisible de la véritable élégance et tout ce qui sautait à l'oeil lui semblait odieux." -- Jean Cocteau "In this period when cut-price style is all the rage and the only measure is half-measure, when the slightest daring is deemed a crime, Jean-Michel Frank's objects and decors must be viewed with most solemn affection. He loved the invisible aspects of true elegance and he was offended by anything that was overstated." --Jean Cocteau
