Arcadia Chair

Founded in Paris in 1978 by Andrée Putman, Ecart International was among the first companies dedicated to rediscovering and reissuing the work of overlooked pioneers of early twentieth-century modern design. Through meticulous research and a distinctive curatorial vision, the brand brought iconic creations by designers such as Pierre Chareau, Jean-Michel Frank, Eileen Gray, and Robert Mallet-Stevens back into production, playing a key role in their international revival. Alongside its historic reissues, Ecart International developed collaborations with contemporary designers and its own creative studio, establishing a lasting reputation for timeless modernity, refined craftsmanship, and understated elegance.

Paul László (1900–1993) was a Hungarian-born architect and designer whose career spanned Europe and the United States. After establishing his practice in Vienna, he emigrated to California, where he became one of the most sought-after designers of Hollywood’s elite. Known for his holistic approach to interiors, architecture, and furniture, László created sophisticated environments that seamlessly combined elegance, craftsmanship, and modernity.
