Square Louis-Majorelle

Square Louis-Majorelle honors a man who reshaped the look of the early twentieth century. Louis Majorelle was a master furniture designer and ironworker who became a central figure in the Art Nouveau movement. He gained international fame by turning everyday objects like tables and beds into organic, flowing forms that echoed the lines of nature. You can see his influence in the way he blended fine craftsmanship with modern production, moving away from the rigid styles of the past to create works featuring water lilies, dragonflies, and exotic wood inlays. By naming this space after him, the city recognizes a designer who turned furniture into an art form and helped define the aesthetic of a generation.
