One prominent figure of the Art Deco movement was Jean Dunand, a furniture designer who introduced the more geometric forms that became popular during this period. Jean Michael Frank was another influential designer who became known for minimalist interiors and his use of luxury materials like shagreen, mica, and straw marquetry.
Eileen Gray was also very influential in the Art Deco period. Her career began in lacquer before WWI, but moved to designing screens and furniture after the end of the war. Her furniture was known for being highly original, ingenious, and displaying cubist characteristics.
