{Last year, the design community lost one of our greats - Andrée Putman. Known internationally for her interior design savvy, the self taught Andrée’s career took flight following a divorce when she discovered a passion for forgotten 1930s french modernist furniture. Little in demand at the time, Andrée founded Ecart in 1978 to help market her flea market finds. Through Ecart, Andrée also established her own design practice. She began by designing the homes of friends but as word of mouth spread, she took on increasingly challenging projects. In 1980 Andrée was selected by Ian Schrager for the design of the Morgans Hotel in Manhattan. Touted as the first of the boutique hotels, this was the job that brought Andrée and her work to the world. Over the course of her multifaceted career, Andrée created everything from furniture to flatware, and movie sets to high rise apartment complexes. Andrée’s daughter Olivia took over the role of creative directer at Andrée Putnam studio in 2007, carrying on her mother’s legacy.} “To not dare is to have already lost. We should seek out ambitions, even unrealistic projects…because things only happen when we dream.” - Andrée Putman -- source link
