RENE DROUET
(1899-1993)
Following his student time at l’Ecole Boulle, Drouet worked as an apprentice to master designer Maurice Dufrene at Galeries Lafayette. Thereafter he worked at DIM (Decoration Interieure Mobilier) and in 1929 joined the studio of Jean Domin. With a solid knowledge of quality, learned from his apprentice years, he had the ability to provide furniture and create a complete interior. Among his achievements was an apartment on the top floor of a mansion on Parc Monceau for Charles Boyer and Pat Paterson. Drouet was an interior designer as well as furniture maker and had his own gallery at 104 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore in Paris in the 1940s/50s. Many of his works were produced after the end of World War II and included furniture as well as objects and lighting. Many of his designs reflect the exuberance of post-War optimism.
