Andree Putman

The work of the Paris-based design group Ecart and its director Andree Putman is known and admired throughout Europe and the USA. Using illustrations and drawings, this book gives an insight into Andree Putman's working practices. 50 projects are analyzed in detail, from her 1979 Paris apartment, to the 1992 Orchid House Club in Kobe, Japan, and separate chapters focus on her licensed furniture and reissues of lost classics. Putman has designed shops and salons for major fashion designers and made her mark in hotel design with projects such as Morgans in New York and the Wasserturm in Cologne.
