Breaking away from Art Nouveau, their goal was to perfectly combine aesthetics and functionality. After founding the Ateliers Français in 1912, they went further in their quest for innovation, elegance, and refinement, establishing the Compagnie des Arts Français in 1919. This was a groundbreaking revolution in the world of furniture and decoration at the time. Many painters, including Dunoyer de Segonzac and Véra, joined this institution, which made a strong impact at the 1925 International Exposition of Decorative Arts.
