Maurice Dufrene was a French artist, decorator and designer. He was born in Paris in 1876 and died in Nogent-sur-Marne in 1955. Dufrene is considered one of the leading French designers of the 20th century. Dufrene began his career during the Art Nouveau period, but switched to the Art Deco movement in the 1920s. He was head of the Matrise workshop at Galeries Lafayette. Dufrene's work is characterized by an evolution towards sobriety and simplicity, making him one of the earliest exponents of Art Deco. Dufrene's father had a wholesale commodities business and, as a child, Dufrene would collect leftover materials from his father's workplace and turn them into decorative works of art. He studied at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs. Dufrene's work included furniture design, ceramics and decorative objects. He designed the Matrise exhibition for the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Industriels et Décoratifs Modernes in Paris. Dufrene's creations were renowned for their elegance and craftsmanship.
