Galerie Down<strong>to</strong>wn — François Laffanour specializes in furniture by<br />

European and American masters of design, predominantly architects of<br />

the twentieth century. ——————— For the past twenty-five years, the<br />

gallery has organized thematic and monographic exhibitions on designers<br />

such as Jean Prouvé, Le Corbusier, Charles & Ray Eames, Carlo Mollino,<br />

and Charlotte Perriand. ——————— Shortly after the Second World War,<br />

this generation of designers brought a new concept <strong>to</strong> the art of furnishing,<br />

dictated by a need for freedom and functionality — a new art de vivre in a<br />

time of technological and scientific advances — creating forms that were<br />

pure and without ornament.<br />
