Throughout his career, Jean Puiforcat reflected on the essence of form and the function of the object. Designed in 1930, the Annecy model illustrates this dialogue between architectural form and the noble material of sterling silver. The curve of a perfect disk counters the simplicity and rigor of the model’s mathematical straight line. A delicate yet powerful Art Deco geometric stylistic arrangement.

Jean Puiforcat

Jean Puiforcat

Jean Elysée Puiforcat (pronounced pwee-for-KAH) (1897-1945) was a French silversmith, sculptor and designer. Puiforcat's silver work had smooth surfaces and was based on the geometric series. He started designing tableware and by 1934 he also had designed liturgical silver. In 1941, he moved to Mexico and started exhibiting in the United States. Puiforcat's name was renowned for the elegant, often mathematical simplicity of his geometric forms and the unexpected combination of flawless metalwork with brilliantly polished hardstones, semiprecious stones, or glass.
