Andrée Putman – The Legend Decorator
Andrée Putman (23 December 1925 – 19 January 2013) was a French interior and product designer.
The interior design of the Morgans Hotel in New York in 1984 marked a turning point in Andrée Putman’s career.
She managed to make a high-standard hotel with a small budget and asserted her style with sober rooms and visual effects.
From the 1980s, she led more and more interior design projects.
Hotels such as Le Lac in Japan, Im Wasserturm in Germany and the Sheraton in Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris.
Stores for Azzedine Alaia, Balenciaga, Bally and Lagerfeld.
Offices, particularly the one for French Minister of Culture Jack Lang in 1984.
And museums like the CAPC, Bordeaux’s contemporary art museum.
