\n\tFrench interior\u00a0design<\/a>\u00a0master Andr\u00e9e Putman<\/a> passed away more than a decade ago \u2014 but her\u00a0design\u00a0studio and legacy continue to thrive.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Thursday, her daughter\u00a0Olivia Putman<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Andr\u00e9e Putman Studio<\/a>\u00a0chief executive officer Aur\u00e9lie Laure announced the opening of the firm\u2019s first New York<\/a> City gallery, marking the culmination of a new era of growth for the studio.<\/p>\n

\n\tOpened in May, the New York<\/a> City location\u2019s new address is 344 Bowery, above Par Excellence, a French collective dedicated to showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. It stands adjacent to Jean-Michel Basquiat\u2019s former studio, a place long-woven into the Putman story. It was Olivia Putman who first introduced the young artist to Andr\u00e9e Putman, who became one of his early supporters and advocated for him with Andy Warhol<\/a>, the firm said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThroughout her career, Andr\u00e9e Putman maintained a long-standing and influential relationship with New York \u2014\u00a0marked by projects including the Morgans Hotel in 1984, the industry-forward boutique hotel founded by Studio 54\u2019s Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager. She also worked on numerous private residences and the design<\/a> of Yves Saint Laurent boutiques across the United States.<\/p>\n

\n\tEnvisaged as a real Parisian-inspired home<\/a>, the studio is filled with vintage pieces, re-editions, and collector editions in an evolving composition. A selection of archival objects that have accompanied the studio throughout its history reflects the breadth of its collaborations across design, fashion, craftsmanship and luxury. Among them are the Ritual collection for Nespresso, the Pearls bottle for Chivas, the Veuve Clicquot box.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt brings together the studio\u2019s teams within an environment layered with memories, books, objects and ongoing projects, where contemporary work develops in quiet continuity with the past,\u201d the firm said.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn February,\u00a0Olivia Putman<\/a>\u00a0and Laure revealed the opening of La Galerie Andr\u00e9e Putman in Paris<\/a> and the debut of a furniture<\/a> collection of re-editions, which is being sold on the Andr\u00e9e Putman website. The new space was set within the same compound as the late creative\u2019s design practice, which is located on 9 bis avenue de Saxe in\u00a0Paris<\/a>\u2019 7th arrondissement.<\/p>\n

\n\tPutman\u2019s aesthetic continues to reverberate worldwide, from fashion to hospitality. She\u2019s remembered for her vision of the interiors of Air France\u2019s Concorde, the office of France\u2019s former Minister of Culture Jack Lang, several apartments for Lagerfeld and shop interiors for Barneys New York in Chelsea, Karl Lagerfeld, Azzedine Ala\u00efa, Yves Saint Laurent and Guerlain and Le Bon March\u00e9\u2019s escalators.<\/p>\n

\n\tBorn in Paris on Dec. 23, 1925, she studied music at the city\u2019s conservatory as a young girl. Her upbringing was conservative, and Putman rebelled early, sneaking off to the Caf\u00e9 de Flore, where she fell under the spell of such luminaries as Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Antonin Artaud, Albert Camus, Juliette Greco and Alberto Giacometti.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the dawn of her professional life, she worked as a journalist and later worked for a design consultancy. At Lagerfeld\u2019s urging in the late \u201960s, she shifted gears to interior design<\/a>. In 1973, she teamed with Didier Grumbach, then president of France\u2019s Chambre Syndicale, and founded Cr\u00e9ateurs & Industriels to promote fashion and design.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tPutman opened her own agency,\u00a0Ecart<\/a>, in 1978, which continues today under the ownership of Pierre Yovanovitch, promoting early and midcentury design, reediting furniture<\/a> from the likes of Jean-Michel Frank, Eileen Gray, Robert Mallet-Stevens, Pierre Chareau and\u00a0Mariano Fortuny<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"French interior\u00a0design\u00a0master Andr\u00e9e Putman passed away more than a decade ago \u2014 but her\u00a0design\u00a0studio and legacy continue to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34436,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[14426,5157,6391,6392,15741,3127,30],"class_list":["post-34435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-paris","tag-andy-warhol","tag-design","tag-furniture","tag-home","tag-interior-design","tag-new-york","tag-paris"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34435\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
