Jacques Hitier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacques Hitier (28 March 1917 – 5 March 1999) was a French interior architect and designer. He was director of the École Boulle, a college of fine arts and crafts and applied arts in Paris, from 1972 to 1982.
After the Second War World, he specialized in designing industrial furniture for public environments such as schools and government buildings. He showed all his artwork at Salon des Artistes Décorateurs and at Salon des Arts Ménagers. Hitier also designed upscale and high-end home furniture.
Art historian Patrick Favardin [fr] called him "one of the most prominent figures of decorative art of the second half of the twentieth century".
