Title: Mid Century Modern Interior Design Presentation Gouache Meuble Mural Medium: Gouache ink and pencil on paper, unframed Size: 25.5 x 19.75 inches (height x width) Provenance: private collection Condition: Fair vintage condition. Noticeable creasing, edge wear and handling marks. Light foxing and surface dirt visible. Lower right corner slightly worn. Paper shows age toning throughout. Structurally sound but clearly a working design sheet. Description: A striking mid century French interior design presentation drawing titled Meuble Mural, depicting a modernist living room concept centred around a bold red wall unit. Executed in gouache, ink and pencil on artists paper, the composition presents a fully realised architectural perspective alongside a secondary floor plan study below, typical of professional design proposals from the 1950s or 1960s. The main perspective showcases a dramatic modern interior with clean architectural lines, floor to ceiling glazing, and a sculptural arrangement of low lounge chairs gathered around a circular table. The vibrant red wall unit forms the focal point of the composition, contrasted against muted grey walls and deep green flooring. The integrated shelving system, or meuble mural, reflects the era’s emphasis on built in storage and minimalist design. Stylised human silhouettes provide scale and reinforce the presentation quality of the work. Below, a monochrome floor plan reveals the spatial arrangement of the seating area and architectural elements, further confirming this as a professional design study rather than a purely decorative artwork. The careful use of colour blocking, perspective drawing and graphic typography aligns closely with mid century modern interior architecture, French modernist design and post war European decorative arts. This piece would strongly appeal to collectors of mid century modern design drawings, architectural presentation artworks, and interiors inspired by 1950s and 1960s French modernism. The presence of the French title Meuble Mural significantly enhances search visibility for collectors seeking original interior design concept art and vintage architectural renderings...

Pierre Coquet – Abstract Composition Reference number A217 Framed with a natural oak floated frame 67 x 54 cm frame included (62 x 49 cm without frame) This work is painted with oil on a paper that is mounted on a board and placed in a made to measure wood strectcher. Stamp of the signature in the bottom right Pierre was very sensitive to abstract paintings. He did a lot of abstract works melting colors and shapes in different atmosphere and style. Nevertheless he could come back to figuration and again to abstraction with no precise period of time. Abstract paintings by Pierre Coquet represent a large part of his production. The constant search for balance between shapes and colors as well as his passion for Nicolas de Staël, André Lanskoy, Alfred Mannessier… takes him on different paths from what we know of him. His way of painting is strong and thoughtful, the lines stretch out and the harmonious touches, applied with sobriety, reveal a great sense of color. Provenance : Workshop of the artist (stamped and numbered on the back) Pierre Coquet (1926-2021) is a French painter who was born in Limas near Lyon, France. He entered the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Lyon in 1942 and followed the teaching of Antoine Chartres, Henri Vielly and René Chancrin. He won a prize in 1945 and joined a movement that wanted to be outside of any school whose name ends with “ism”, (like impressionism, cubism…) between figuration and the renaissance of Abstract Art, bringing together young generations under thirty and eager not to submit to any technique. The “Sanzism” (literally without « ism ») will bring together, among others, painters: James Bansac, Roger Bravard, André Chaix, Jean Mélinand, Paul Clair, André Cottavoz, Pierre Doye, Jean Fusaro, Jacques Truphémus, André Lauran...
