Laffanour Galerie Downtown: Architect furniture

Since its opening in the early 80s, the Gallery Downtown, created by François Laffanour, has explored, shown through its exhibitions, and rehabilitated a field little known at the time: the 20th century furnitures made by architects. Creators – mostly architects – Europeans and Americans who, after the Second World War, brought another conception in the art of furnishing oneself, dictated by a need for freedom and efficiency, at the service of a new art of living in an era of technological and scientific development. The Downtown gallery owns and works from the Galerie Steph Simon archives</a > which, from 1956 to 1974, represented the furniture of Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé, Le Corbusier, Serge Mouille</a >, Georges Jouve or Isamu Noguchi. Since 2004, Galerie Downtown has the exclusivity for Ron Arad’s furnitures in France .
