Perhaps because he worked as an interior designer, his work appears so tailored to a sense of place or emotion, and less about the physical design of a product & limitations of material. His sculptural forms at times feel exaggerated and playful, as if they belong on the set of Pee Wee's Playhouse, the highest compliment indeed.

It’s a rare chair which had been for private commission in Paris and it came with great provenance. I think most of Royère’s furniture shows a lot of playfulness but this chair in its shape and color exemplifies this. "</i><br /></div></div><br /><br /><i><span style="font-size: large;">A conversation with Meaghan Roddy on Jean Royère</span></i><br /><br /><i><b>Has the </b><b>Royère market gained momentum over the past decade? </b></i><br /><br /><i>Meaghan Roddy:</i> The more private commissions that surface, the more interesting the works are that enter the market, which can generate excitement and interest. He’s certainly a designer we’ve seen strong results for over the past several auction seasons.<br /><br /><i><b> How important is original upholstery to a sale of </b><b>Royère's works? </b></i><br /><br /><i>Meaghan Roddy: </i>What’s more important to our clients is that the furniture is usable. If the sofa or chairs have ripped or stained upholstery or hardened foam underneath, it’s not appealing to them. In the case of the ‘Ambassador’ sofa and chairs we sold last fall in London, they were re-upholstered in his famous ‘Royère green’ color and in keeping with the original materials that would’ve been used. We are committed to presenting his pieces in as historically accurate a manner as possible to honor what the designer would have intended.<br /><br /><i><b>Are there specific colors that </b><b>Royère worked with for his works?</b></i><br /><br />What we can tell from his drawings and photos of interiors is that he was not afraid to use color, or patterns or mix textures. There is a lot of red, green, muted blue, yellow throughout all of his work.<br /><br /><i><b>I've read that many of </b><b>Royère's pieces were made for private clients. Is this true? Were his works sold through a gallery or dealer at that time, or made specifically for clients?</b></i><br /><br />In the earlier part of his career, he produced work through the firm Gouffé in Paris, though in 1943 he opened his own design firm. He designed quite a lot for private commissions, mostly in France and the Middle East. He was an interior designer, not just a furniture designer, so he designed full interiors down to the andirons. The furniture was often just part of his overall vision for a space.<br /><br /><i><b>How many works is estimated that he created? </b></i><br /><br />As with a lot of 20th century designers, there is no clear record how many interiors he designed or how many of a specific design he created for each, so we don’t have exact numbers. <br /><i><br /></i><i><b>Has there ever been a museum show of </b><b>Royère's work that you are aware of? </b></i><br /><br />The Musée des Arts décoratifs in Paris had a show of Jean Royère’s work October 8, 1999 – January 30, 2000 and published an accompanying book Jean Royère, décorateur à Paris. More recently there have been shows organized by various design galleries to showcase his work.<br /><br /><i><b>Upcoming design auctions at Phillips, and any notable selections from them that you are personally excited about?</b></i><br /><br />We have a great group of Jean Royère pieces coming up in our April 25th Design auction in London as well as our June 11th Design auction in New York, including an ‘Oeuf’ chair and stool, a unique ‘Ruban’ sofa, a ‘Croisillon’ sofa, a fantastic ‘Bouquet’ ceiling light, among others.<br /><br /><i><b>3 designers that personally capture your heart and mind? </b></i><br /><br />Not including Royère?<b> </b>Olga de Amaral, Josef Hoffmann, and Superstudio (for now – this is always changing!).<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8tWRXPjOLrQkTNWGN6Ms03-nwjPoUOw6bqHAP6gAA8HbPilwz6yRjn4nWmF_BqtJs6ZWjbUJzSF7N3YYvbg3yqtmT8Iifr5BKAwaTxuPvzcWgJRGNqDG6wU4hj5jIB4zV9miC523OqhuL/s1600/9_001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8tWRXPjOLrQkTNWGN6Ms03-nwjPoUOw6bqHAP6gAA8HbPilwz6yRjn4nWmF_BqtJs6ZWjbUJzSF7N3YYvbg3yqtmT8Iifr5BKAwaTxuPvzcWgJRGNqDG6wU4hj5jIB4zV9miC523OqhuL/s640/9_001.jpg" width="513" /></a></div><br /><br /><i>Pair of rare ‘Ambassador’ chairs, circa 1955, estimate £40,000 - 60,000. sold for £133,250 </i><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>"The green sofa and chairs were sold in our September 2012 auction in London.

Jean Royère's career began in 1933 when he became one of the regular participants of the large Parisian design shows of the time, such as the Salon d'Automne (Autumn Salon) or the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs (Artistic Decorators' Salon). His innovative style distanced him from the conventionalism of his colleagues and their "dictums."<br /><br />Royère expressed a masterful command of the interior spaces he designed, as if he had <i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>an innate sense of decoration,</b></span></i> where comfort does not alienate a richness of material and where a fanciful wistfulness is expressed through innovative shapes and vivid colors. Even before World War II, Royère appropriated the sinuous forms that prefigure the "free-form shapes" characteristic of the 1950's. The originality of his style, his inherent refinement, and the poetry of his touch consecrate Jean Royère among the pantheon of great decorators of the 20th Century." <br /><br /><br /><br /><br

He spoke of material selection, and explained to me that "most people’s tendency is to isolate materials, though, really they are only good or bad based on what they are combined with and what they are doing. All good designers and builders know this." Henrybuilt continues to seek clarity in their designs with a new collection of materials that includes "more traditional and rustic options designed to work with a wide variety of architectural styles - think craftsman, townhouses, bungalows etc." Hopefully I'll be visiting Seattle soon, and I'll be stopping into Henrybuilt, and seeing the production firsthand.

And my whole family’s farm-based aesthetic was based on function. That’s not to say my grandfather’s work was ‘beautiful’ in a traditional design sense. It was pretty plain. He had a little different orientation to what he was doing than I do. He never would have fussed so much over the ‘beauty’ part. For me, when a thing is distilled in its form, it takes on a dignity that can be out of proportion – in a good and surprising way – with what you would expect a physical object to be able to represent. That is why I am doing this. Because when you achieve that you’ve really done something for someone. But it’s a process. You just have to keep working on it. It took me 20 years of building and designing things before I felt like I could make anything really worth building a business around. So I am slow.
