Note: Paule Marrot is a French artist and textile designer known for her colorful motifs inspired by nature, combining flowers, foliage and birds in a style that is both modern and poetic. Her decorative universe brought freshness and lightness to post-war interiors. She notably collaborated with Jean Royère, who used her floral fabrics to cover some of his furniture. Paule Marrot's prints complement the soft, organic shapes of Royère's furniture, creating warm, elegant ensembles emblematic of 1950s French design.
