René Gabriel (14 September 1890 – 30 October 1950) was a French decorative artist and designer who specialized in furniture series (''meuble de série''). He had a clean, logical style that inspired many of the new designers in the years after World War II (1939–45). The prestigious ''Prix René Gabriel'' continues to be awarded to French designers for modern designs that can be mass-produced. ==Early career== René Gabriel was born on 14 September 1890 in Maisons-Alfort, Paris. He studied at the ''École Germain Pilon'' from 1912 to 1914, and at the ''École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs'' (ENSAD) from 1914 to 1917. From 1919 he exhibited furniture and painted designs at the ''Salon des Artistes Décorateurs'' and the ''Salon d'Automne''. Gabriel's sober and rational furniture style resembled that of Francis Jourdain. At the 1925 International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts in Paris he designed the ''Chambre de Jeune Fille'' at the ''Ambassade Française''. Gabriel also made block-printed wallpaper at his ''Au Sansonnet'' workshop in the 1920s. Later he made wallpaper patterns for Nobilis and Papiers Peints de France. His designs covered a wide range, and included elegant florals or landscapes and jazzy abstractions. In 1924 Gabriel became a professor at the ''École des Arts Appliqués''. He contributed to the ''Manufacture nationale de Sèvres'' from 1927. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「René Gabriel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
