Jules Leleu (1883-1961) is a French cabinetmaker and designer, famous for adapting modernism with classic lines. It remains best known for its designs with simplified shapes, exotic woods as well as for its marquetry and its ivory inlay. He was born on June 17, 1883 and, after studying decorative painting, he took over his father’s painting business at the age of 26 with his brother, Marcel. He opens a gallery, Maison Leleu, and devotes himself entirely to making furniture. In 1925, he exhibited at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts where he won the Grand Prix. His notoriety is gaining momentum and he designs the Île de France and Normandy ocean liners, as well as the French embassies around the world and the large ambassador fair at the Geneva Nations.<\/p>\n
