THE SALON ART + DESIGN NEW YORK 2026: BOOTH A8

For the 2026 edition of Salon Art + Design New York, Galerie Marcilhac brings together two great masters of French Art Deco, Eugène Printz and Jean Dunand, in a setting inspired by the elegance of a Parisian salon of the 1930s.

At the heart of the presentation, two remarkable pieces by Eugène Printz — a palmwood cabinet from circa 1935 and a wenge sideboard from circa 1933 — reveal his distinctive approach to furniture design, combining rare woods, architectural forms, and finely worked metal.

Galerie Marcilhac is delighted to collaborate with IKSEL, the renowned wallpaper house, to create a setting inspired by Jean Dunand’s celebrated palm forest décor for Madame Aboucaya’s Parisian apartment. Produced by IKSEL, the wallpaper provides a striking backdrop for a selection of Dunand’s works, from early hammered-metal vessels to pieces enriched with delicate silver inlays and richly nuanced patinas. Together, they evoke the importance of decorative interiors in the Art Deco period and the close relationship between art, craftsmanship, and architecture.

The presentation also reflects the fascination with cultures beyond Europe that shaped the decorative arts at the turn of the twentieth century. Carlo Bugatti’s inventive furniture, drawing on Islamic, North African, and Japanese influences, anticipated many of the formal experiments of Art Deco. The works of Eugénie O’Kin offer another perspective on this cultural exchange, bringing together Japanese craftsmanship and the artistic sensibility of Paris.

A sofa and a pair of armchairs by Maison Dominique complete the setting, recalling the work of the great Parisian ensembliers, who conceived furniture and interiors as harmonious compositions.

Through this presentation, Galerie Marcilhac invites visitors to rediscover Art Deco not simply as a style, but as an art of living, where furniture, objects, materials, and interiors were conceived in dialogue with one another.
