PIERRE LOTTIER (France, 1916 - Santa Susana, Spain, 1987). Pair of planters George III style, ca. 1950's. Wood painted black and simulating root wood. It presents marks of use and wear. Measurements: 86 x 46 x 46 cm. Pair of planters designed by Pierre Lottier. The historicism and the free revisitation of the past was characteristic of Lottier's work, as can be seen in these planters in the form of cups with the exterior decorated with wooden ribs. He gives the wood different finishes and patinas. Pierre Lottier was a prominent furniture designer and decorator born in France but based in Barcelona, active from the post-war period. Already in the sixties and seventies he had an important workshop, where important cabinetmakers of the new generation were trained. Lottier was mainly dedicated to the decoration of important houses in the Catalan capital, although he also designed others outside the city, such as Ava Gardner's house in Madrid. Born into a family of artists (his father was the famous restaurateur and namesake Pierre Lottier who founded in 1880 "La Reserve" on the Côte d'Azur, one of the high society establishments most valued by millionaires and aristocrats), Pierre Lottier settled in Madrid in the 1930s, set apart by French society. He came into contact with the Spanish elite of the time as a procurer of important works of art, especially porcelain and oriental bronzes. In the 1950s he settled between Madrid and Barcelona. He collaborated with important design houses such as Casa Valentí or Casa Gancedo for the most historical fabrics. Pierre Lottier began emulating the career of Marc du Plantier and the famous Maison Jansen in Paris. His beginnings were based on the purity of the French "Grand Gout", mainly centered on Louis XV and XVI styles. Later, in the 1950's, it drifted to the English styles typical of the late 18th century: Hepplewhite, Adam, Chippendale, Sheraton or Gillwood were the surnames with which Lottier was most inspired. By 1970 the style drifted into a more modern wake. His new designs were based on Art Deco and classical rationalism, typical of a new, more intellectual society.
