The Brighton Museum, England, houses a unique collection of 1920s French and English furniture. It is arranged in sets to show the marriage between furniture and interior design emphasized by some designers of the period. Examining individual pieces in detail, we pay particular attention to the way they were manufactured, and conclude that the new metal furniture needed just as high a degree of craftsmanship as more traditional wooden items. And we investigate the influence of French designers on English craftsmen after the 1925 Paris Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts.
