Born in the late 80s, En Attendant les Barbares is known for being the publisher of the first creations of Elisabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti. His approach has always been to try to break down the boundaries between design and decorative art, for example by emphasizing the work of craftsmen. Over time, many designers from different generations and backgrounds have joined the gallery, bringing their touch to the eclecticism that makes its identity, among them Christian Ghion, Arik Lévy, Mark Brazier-Jones, André Dubreuil or Matt Sindall.
Robert and Cheska Vallois have been dedicating their gallery to Art Deco since 1971. For furniture and art objects, the Art Deco years (1918-1940) were a period of luxuriance and sophistication for the materials used (shagreen, ivory, parchment, lacquer, mother-of-pearl, rare and precious wood …) which were sublimated by a great creativity in shapes. The Art Deco years had a major influence on contemporary design and marked the peak of interior designers and French craftsmen. The Vallois present the most talented creators of those years : Pierre Chareau, Marcel Coard, Jean Dunand, Jean-Michel Frank, Alberto et Diego Giacometti, Eileen Gray, André Groult, Paul Iribe, Pierre Legrain, Eugène Printz, Armand-Albert Rateau, or Jacques-Emile Ruhlman.
After the Puces, Thomas Fritsch took, like many talented merchants, the path to Saint-Germain des Prés. His style ? The 1950s and 1960s, culminating in ceramics and unique pieces by Pol Chambost, Georges Jouve, Roger Capron, André Aleth Masson, Jacques and Dani Ruelland, and Denise Gatard.

Founded in 1938 by Hans Knoll and his wife Florence, Knoll is really important in 20th century design. This company worked with most of the post-war architects and designers and a huge part of its furniture is now part of Design History and of the collections of the major museums, particularly the MOMA in New York City. At the beginning of this venture, Hans Knoll pulled off a remarkable feat by initiating Americans into European design, before calling in the best American designers, and his firm has always been a pioneer concerning innovation and creation.

This gallery reflects the personalities of two associates who created it : Anne Deconinck and Geoffrey Renaud, who started at Drouot or at the Saint-Ouen flea market. Specialized in decorative arts of the 20th century (1920-1970), the gallery exhibits Jacques Quinet or Louis Sognot as well as decorators who are less well-known by the general public (Zimmerman, Avril, Ico Parisi), but it also shows contemporary ceramic.
Until 1999, Didier et Clémence Krzentowski directed an agency in charge of planning meetings between designers and manufacturers. But they decided to get closer to the public by opening a design gallery, first in the 13tharrondissement, then considering the international success of their exhibitions, in Saint-German-des-Près. The gallery produces and presents exclusively the creations of the brothers Bourroulec, Jasper Morrison, Marc Newson, Alessandro Mendini, James Irvine or Martin Szekely but also presents a selection of beautiful lights (from the 1950s to nowadays) by Ingo Maurer, Gino Sarfatti or Achille Castiglioni.
François Laffanour is a major figure in the design market. He launched his gallery in the 1980s, after spending a few years at the “Puces” (the Flea Market), and he shows there furniture by European and American architects : Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé, Le Corbusier, Jeanneret, Ron Arad, Choï, Georges Jouve, Serge Mouille, George Nakashima, Jean Royère, Ettore Sottsass or Takis.
