Eugène Gaillard

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eugène Gaillard (born January 31, 1862 in Paris ; † 1933 there ) was a French architect and designer .

The trained lawyer was the brother of the goldsmith and jeweler Lucien Gaillard , with whom he is often confused, and worked as a sculptor for ten years before starting his career as a designer. His contribution to the pavilion of the art dealer Siegfried Bing at the Paris World Exhibition of 1900 made him one of the most important French Art Nouveau artists for interiors. The co-founder of the Société des artistes décorateurs explained his way of working in 1906 in his essay À propos du Mobilier .
