Galerie Martynoff Design: twentieth-century art and contemporary creation at the heart of an exceptional selection
At the crossroads of tradition and the avant-garde, Galerie Martynoff Design is a must for lovers and collectors ofmodern art, 20th-century furniture, iconic design and contemporary creation.
A natural extension of Galerie Martynoff Paris, this specialized branch embodies the desire to highlight a decisive era in the history of forms, materials and ideas: the era when art and design became language, manifesto and functional sculpture.
A passion for twentieth-century design
The 20th century saw the birth of an aesthetic revolution. From the functional elegance of the Bauhaus to the plastic audacity of Pop Art, from Scandinavian minimalism to Italian experimentation, the designers of the last century pushed back the boundaries of furniture and objets d'art. Galerie Martynoff Design celebrates this richness with a selection of works and pieces of furniture bearing the hallmarks of such great names as :
-
Jean Prouvé,
-
Charlotte Perriand,
-
Le Corbusier,
-
Gio Ponti,
-
Ettore Sottsass,
-
Joe Colombo,
-
Pierre Paulin,
-
Arne Jacobsen,
-
Hans Wegner,
-
and Gae Aulenti.
Each piece is chosen for its emblematic character, its rarity or its contribution to the history of design. But the gallery also showcases lesser-known but equally powerful works by confidential designers, master glassmakers or creators yet to be rediscovered.
Furniture, lighting, objects: a panorama of design
Galerie Martynoff Design offers a rich, coherent and evolving panorama of design and art from the 20th century to the present day.
Among the typologies regularly presented:
-
Armchairs, chairs, sofas: organic or geometric shapes, in bentwood, tubular steel, resin or leather.
-
Desks, enfilades, coffee tables: clean lines or sculptural volumes, always with a remarkable finish.
-
Lighting: floor lamps, pendant lights, wall lights, poetic or technical creations, signed or anonymous.
-
Decorative objects and collector's items: modernist ceramics, wall sculptures, designer clocks, artistic mirrors, blown-glass vases and more.
The gallery seeks to create subtle dialogues between pieces, between a vintage Italian armchair and a contemporary French lamp, between a brutalist enfilade and a minimalist sculpture.
Contemporary creation: audacity, singularity, innovation
If the twentieth century is the foundation of Galerie Martynoff Design, the twenty-first century is its breath of fresh air.
The gallery highlights the work of contemporary creators, craftsmen, independent designers and artists who develop a strong, original vision.
Limited edition pieces, prototypes and unique works that push back the boundaries between art, furniture and sculpture.
These contemporary creations, often made from innovative materials or using exacting craft processes, enrich the collection and offer enthusiasts a fresh take on the object.
Between function and emotion: an aesthetic of character
The furniture and objects offered by Galerie Martynoff Design are designed to live in today's interiors.
They are selected not only for their artistic or historical value, but also for their ability to generate emotion, to stand out as the focal point of a space, to tell a story.
Each object has a sculptural dimension. Each piece of furniture embodies a lifestyle. Far from industrial standards or commonplace copies, the gallery defends a vision of design as a work of authorship, an extension of the personality of the person who chooses it.
Expertise at the service of architects, collectors and interior designers
Galerie Martynoff Design supports interior designers, decorators and private collectors, as well as institutions and companies wishing to integrate furniture or contemporary works of art into their projects.
It offers a made-to-measure selection, advice on staging, controlled logistics (transport, installation, insurance), as well as a personalized search service for rare or specific pieces.
The gallery also promotes prestigious provenances, signed pieces and documented objects, with certificates or publications where possible.
Online presence and immersive experiences
Galerie Martynoff Design offers a modern and elegant digital showcase, https://galerie-martynoff.com/us/61-new-treasures?q=Type-Vintage & Design Contemporain, where each piece is highlighted by professional photography, precise description and fluid navigation.
Customers can purchase online, request a quote or customized delivery, or arrange a private viewing.
The gallery's social networks also allow customers to follow the latest news, favorites, current inspirations, aesthetic associations and designer spotlights. Each post is designed to enrich the relationship between the object, its creator and its future buyer.
A contemporary gallery... with a soul
In contrast to a purely speculative or decorative approach, Galerie Martynoff Design defends a sensitive, erudite and daring vision of furniture and contemporary art.
Each piece is the fruit of an encounter. Each acquisition is a dialogue. The gallery takes the time to explain, to tell, to make you feel what design can awaken: a memory, a desire, an emotion.
It's a gallery on a human scale, but with an international reach, thanks to its digital reach and exchanges with collectors from all over the world.
A philosophy: art, design and the poetry of everyday life
For Galerie Martynoff Design, an armchair can be a sculpture. A coffee table can evoke an artistic movement. A lamp can become a totem.
This poetic, cultivated and audacious outlook is at the heart of the gallery's DNA. It's what makes it unique. It's what makes each chosen piece a signature, a silent manifesto in an interior.
the avant-garde of taste
In a world where design is everywhere but rarely authentic, Galerie Martynoff Design offers a refuge, a source, a showcase for lovers of the real, the rare and the beautiful.
It is the ally of demanding decorators, curious collectors, inspired architects and individuals sensitive to the exceptional.
From the historic 20th century to the most contemporary creations, the gallery weaves a living history of design, made of pure lines, noble materials and lasting emotions.
