A visual celebration of the French gallery that helped popularize furniture by architects from Le Corbusier to Ron Arad Over the last 40 years, the Laffanour Galerie Downtown Paris, founded by François Laffanour, has cemented a reputation for itself as a major reference point in 20th-century European and American design. Laffanour popularized what was once a niche field: furniture made by architects. Since its opening in the early 1980s, the gallery has organized numerous thematic and monographic exhibitions on several iconic designers, notably Charlotte Perriand, Serge Mouille, Jean Prouvé, Le Corbusier, Ettore Sottsass, Ron Arad, Isamu Noguchi, Choï Byung, Pierre Jeanneret and Jeanne Royère. Downtown Style celebrates Laffanour's several decades of top-quality curation. An interview with François Laffanour conducted by French design historian Anne Bony is featured alongside countless images from the gallery's exhibitions in which entire living spaces were intricately recreated. The book also features images of Laffanour's booths at internationally renowned art fairs.
