\u201cWe should seek out ambitious, even unrealistic projects, because things only happen when we dream.\u201d Those salient words were famously proclaimed by the late legend, Andr\u00e9e Putman<\/a>. The interior and industrial designer\u2019s contribution to the Modernist movement coupled with the 10th anniversary of her passing has resulted in a comprehensive exhibition titled \u201cAndr\u00e9e Putman and the Creators of the Mouvement Moderne\u201d at the Fondation CAB Saint-Paul-de-Vence in her native France. The show\u2019s compendium of furniture, photographs, personal effects, and archive materials showcase her signature monochrome graphics and streamlined aesthetic. Particularly noteworthy is the reconstruction of one of Putman\u2019s most iconic interiors: the checkered bathroom she designed for the Morgans Hotel in New York, which is considered to be the first ever boutique property. Daughter Olivia Putman, who has run her mother\u2019s studio since 2013, lent many of the private objects and conceived the exhibit\u2019s scenography.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
