Louis Majorelle (1859-1926) was a distinguished French furniture designer, decorative artist, and manufacturer who played a prominent role in the development of the Art Nouveau style. Born in Toul, France, on September 26, 1859, Majorelle was the son of a cabinetmaker. He initially studied painting in Paris but later followed in his father's footsteps to become a master furniture maker.

In 1896, Majorelle took over his father's workshop in Nancy and transformed it into a leading center for Art Nouveau design. Under his direction, the workshop produced exquisite pieces of furniture, characterized by their sinuous lines, organic forms, and intricate marquetry. Majorelle's designs often featured natural motifs such as plants, flowers, and insects, showcasing his appreciation for the beauty of the natural world.

Majorelle's talents extended beyond furniture design to encompass metalwork, glass, and ceramics. He collaborated with other prominent Art Nouveau artists, including Émile Gallé and the Daum Brothers, to create stunning works that incorporated multiple materials and techniques. As one of the founding members of the École de Nancy, Majorelle helped establish Nancy as a significant center for the Art Nouveau movement.

Throughout his career, Majorelle received numerous awards and accolades. His innovative designs and exceptional craftsmanship left an indelible mark on the decorative arts, and his work continues to be highly regarded by collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Louis Majorelle passed away on January 15, 1926, in Nancy, France, but his legacy as a pioneer of the Art Nouveau movement endures. His creations remain influential in the field of design, and many of his pieces can be found in prestigious museums and private collections worldwide.
