Andrée Putman

Andrée Putman Sarl

Andrée Putman, born in Paris, started off as a journalist for Elle and the L’Œil design magazine, and designed household accessories for the French department store chain Prisunic. She then worked at Mafia, an agency for style and marketing, and for Didier Grumbach’s Créateurs et Industriels. In 1978, she founded her own company for interior design, Ecart, and in 1997 her present company, Andrée Putman Sarl. The natural elegance of her distinctive style has made her one of the most successful and famous interior designers. And even though she has always followed the idea that beautiful things should be available for everyone, her name is internationally perceived as a luxury brand.
