MARCEL

GASCOIN

French designer Marcel

Gascoin (1907-1986) was

one of the leading furniture

designers of the post-war

era. He is recognized for the

vital role he played in the

reconstruction of France

after the Second World

War, when his pragmatic

modular storage units and

matching sets of wooden

furniture, which focused on

clean aesthetics and func-

tionality, became a sta-

ple for French households.
