Emilio Terry (1890-1969)
Emilio Terry was a French-Cuban architect, designer, and artist, known for his distinctive “style Louis XVII,” a visionary blend of classical and surrealist elements. He was a key figure in 20th century decorative arts. Terry’s work merged historical influences with imaginative forms, creating timeless and poetic spaces.
His furniture and interiors were characterized by elegant symmetry, sculptural curves, and neoclassical motifs, often evoking a dreamlike grandeur. Among his most notable projects are his château-inspired designs and collaborations with leading designers and artists of his time. One of his most notable traits was his ability to design spaces where history and fantasy coexisted harmoniously. His interiors evoked the elegance of aristocratic French architecture while introducing surreal and playful elements, such as asymmetrical lines and unexpected materials, that challenged conventional notions of classical luxury.
Similarly, Vosges creates designs that are both modern and visually captivating. Just as Terry reinterpreted classical styles with a bold artistic vision, Vosges embraces historical influences while incorporating contemporary aesthetics. His impact is evident in Vosges’ dedication to refined materials and meticulous craftsmanship, ensuring each piece balances beauty and function. By drawing inspiration from Terry’s ability to blend tradition with innovation, Vosges continues to carry his design philosophy into the modern world.
