Galerie Bouvier Le Ny

The Bouvier gallery - Le Ny, located 3 rue de Tournon in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, is the result of the encounter between two passionate French design of the twentieth century.

Jean-Baptiste Bouvier, antiquarian and specialist Reconstruction of the furniture installed for several years to market Paul Bert, and Pierre Le Ny, Labelgum founder of music label.

The gallery presents mainly members of achievements of U.A.M (Union of Modern Artists) such as Le Corbusier, Jean Prouvé, Marcel Gascoin, Robert Mallet-Stevens, Charlotte Perriand, to name a few.

Here a rare and elegant table Jean Prouvé fitted to the refectory of the power plant of Marcoule, where a custom designed lounge furniture by Gustave Gautier for Villa California, and elsewhere a storage unit of Marcel Gascoin coming from a Le Havre rebuilt by Auguste Perret apartment.

Functionalism and simple shapes, rationalizing production and distribution, perfectly sum up the spirit of the modern movement that lay before the Second World War the foundations of what we later called the "design" and will bring in the years 50 essential solutions to the new challenges of the post-war.

There is in the draft Jean-Baptiste Bouvier and Pierre Le Ny desire to prove a pivotal moment and decisive in the history of French decorative arts but also founder in the history of France in reconstruction.
