Pierre Vandel was born in 1939 in Roubaix, in an industrial environment that influenced his relationship with materials and construction from the outset. Trained in industrial design and drawing techniques, in the 1960s he developed a sensitivity to furniture design. At the end of that decade, he created his own brand and launched the first pieces that would define his style. 

His work flourished during the 1970s, during this period, he developed a visual language based on the combination of steel structures, of smoked glass trays, of transparent Plexiglas and brass finishes. This combined use of industrial and decorative materials enables his furniture to play on reflections, transparencies and contrasts. Geometric shapes, straight lines and structural clarity become recurring elements of his creative identity. 

Vandel designs coffee tables, , consoles, , occasional furniture, , Shelves, as well as seats with assertive silhouettes. One of our best-known creations is the Vertebra, designed in the early 1970s, whose articulated structure evokes a stylized spine. This piece illustrates his interest in sculptural forms and the search for a balance between functionality and formal expression. 

His furniture, characterized by a modernist spirit tinged with glamorous influences, has found an international following. Pierre furniture Vandel are exported to capitals such as New York, London and Tokyo, giving their aesthetics visibility beyond France's borders. Their style, founded on elegant modernity and attention to detail, places them in a key period of post-war design, where experimentation with materials accompanied the evolution of contemporary interiors. 

Today, the creations of Pierre Vandel are popular in the world of vintage design. Their combination of glass, metal and brass, as well as their precise geometric composition, testify to a desire to rethink the notion of furniture as both a utilitarian and decorative object. The work of Vandel occupies an important place in the French design panorama of the 1970s, with its combination of rigor, transparency and visual sophistication.
