Atelier Primavera

Primavera was the decorative arts workshop of the Paris department store Printemps, founded in 1912 under René Guilleré and later directed by his wife Charlotte Chauchet Guilleré, then Colette Guéden. It produced furniture, lighting, textiles and ceramics, many made at Sainte Radegonde near Tours, and helped bring Art Deco to a wide public. Designers such as Louis Sognot worked there. Collectors look for signed ceramics and furniture from the 1920s to the 1950s.
