Jean Royère

Jean Royère (1902-1981) was a French decorator who began his career in the early 1930s and later worked extensively in the Middle East. He is known for exuberant, organic designs such as the Ours Polaire sofa, the Liane wall lights and the Boule and Tour Eiffel series, using sycamore, straw marquetry and lacquered metal. Collectors value his originality and colour, and seek pieces with documented provenance.
