History

Ecart International

By creating Ecart International in 1978, Andrée Putman, the great lady of design, began by resurrecting the forgotten talents of furniture from the 1930s. Since 1978, Ecart International has reissued furniture, lighting and heritage objects from the early 20th century, saved from oblivion through the desire to make known these creators who have now become classics: Eileen Gray, Jean-Michel Frank and Adolphe Chanaux, Pierre Chareau, Michel Dufet, Mariano Fortuny…

Andrée Putman is passionate about their work, unearths pieces, restores, reissues, publicizes, develops a highly coherent catalog. In her own words, she will “help them to be reborn. » The furniture reissued by Ecart International, which, half a century earlier, had been rejected for the simplicity of its lines, enjoyed great success and was distributed to a wide audience.

Andrée Putman is not only at the origin of the international recognition of the works of these artists, but she also participates largely in their protection and their heritage.

The manufacturing of all of its seating, furniture and lighting collections is French. The rugs are hand-knotted in Nepal.
