Andrée Putman has an instinct for beautiful things and follows her own taste, following the same line of requirement more than rigor, of singularity more than eccentricity. The extraordinary is part of her daily life as well as her work, and over the decades she has created a universe where extremes come together naturally. At the same time as many building sites for apartments or private houses, she reissued designer furniture from the 1930s, carried out the fitting out of hotels, in particular the famous Morgans, in New York, designed the office of the Minister of Culture, Jack Lang, reinvented the cabin of the Concorde, designed the Guerlain boutique on the Champs-Elysées, designed a line of jewelery for Christofle, renovated the boxes at the Stade de France, composed an exceptional piano for Pleyel.
