In 1978, at 6 rue Pavée in Paris, Andrée Putman brought her passion for decorative arts to life by founding Ecart. The company was established with a clear mission: to reissue furniture and objects from historical creators of the early 20th century, many of whom had been largely forgotten. Located in a showroom set up in a former warehouse, Ecart positioned itself as a pioneer in what it called an “archaeology of modernity.”
