The rectilinear rosewood frame supports a top in enameled faience, its surface inlaid with a honeycomb of glazed hexagons in earthy ochre and ecru.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model was designed around 1945, when Adnet, then director of the Compagnie des Arts Français, championed the integration of fine materials and craft into modern interiors. Lenoble’s enameled tiles, alive with irregular glaze and tonal variation, animate the table’s otherwise minimal form, embodying the period’s renewed faith in material expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComparable examples are documented in Jacques Adnet (Les Éditions de l’Armateur, 2014, p.105), highlighting the significance of this partnership in shaping mid-century French design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJacques Adnet (1900–1984) was a master of modern design, acclaimed for his deft handling of materials and elegant invention over a six-decade career. Trained at the École des Arts Décoratifs under architect Charles Louis Genuys, Adnet gained early recognition for seamlessly merging medium and form, employing glass, parchment-covered wood, and metals in works that moved fluidly from the Art Deco spirit into a timeless modern idiom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppointed director of La Compagnie des Arts Français in 1927, he steered the firm into the vanguard of French design, collaborating with luminaries such as Charlotte Perriand and René Herbst while elevating interiors with a rigor both classical and forward-looking. His collaborations with Jacques Lenoble introduced fine ceramic mosaics into furniture design, transforming utilitarian forms into richly material statements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJacques Lenoble (1902–1967) was a French ceramist renowned for his collaborations with architects and designers, bringing painterly experimentation to architectural ceramics.
