Suzanne Guiguichon

French decorator (1900-1985) who trained under Maurice Dufrêne at La Maîtrise, the design studio of the Galeries Lafayette, before establishing her own practice. From the 1930s to the 1950s she designed furniture and interiors in fine woods such as oak, sycamore and mahogany, in a style that combines French classicism with modern restraint. Collectors appreciate her elegant, well-proportioned pieces.
