A pioneer of design, René Gabriel (1899-1950) began as a domino maker and then established himself as a decorative artist in most of the Salons and International Exhibitions of the interwar period. The discovery of several thousand of his drawings, preserved at the National School of Decorative Arts where he taught, allows us to fully understand the extent of the work of this unique creator who was interested in all everyday objects: furniture, wallpaper, fabric, tableware, carpets, but also architecture, illustration, scenography, advertising... A fan of wood, this fervent defender of furniture for all distinguished himself at the time of Reconstruction by inventing numerous models for disaster victims and establishing close links with industry. This commitment earned him wide recognition, crowned by the René-Gabriel prize which rewards the greatest designers, such as Marcel Gascoin, Pierre Guariche and Michel Boyer.
Work co-published with the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs and with the support of the Centre national du livre.
