On the occasion of the European Heritage days and the launch of the Djo-Bourgeois collection inspired by the Maison's heritage collection, Pierre Frey invites you to discover a new virtual exhibition

Djo-Bourgeois / one name, two artists!

September 17 - December 17, 2022

Djo-Bourgeois ! A mythical name for fans of the modernist movement that hides in fact a couple of artists with complementary talents: Georges Bourgeois, known as Djo-Bourgeois, architect and designer known to the dazzling career, and Elise, his wife, textile designer. Like many artists of the time, they created as a duo after their marriage in 1925. The first worked on space and imagined furniture that the second dressed.

The rediscovery in the archives of the Maison Pierre Frey of a set of original drawings and printed fabrics from the 1920s, signed by Elise Djo-Bourgeois, now makes it possible to give color to her creations, which were previously known through a few black and white photos. In addition, this collection testifies to the quality of her work on the simultaneous contrast of colors, a field of experimentation for a whole group of artists of prodigious fame.
