I was saddened to hear that legendary French interior designer Andrée Putman passed away in Paris Saturday at the age of 87. She might be best know here in New York for designing the Morgans Hotel for Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager but she also designed many spaces and products in her famous minimalist style. I posted the photos of the apartment she designed in Paris in this post a month after I began my blog in 2007 and they still stand up today. They are a testament to her talent that will be very missed.
"Unless you have a feeling for that secret knowledge that modest things can be more beautiful than anything expensive, you will never have style." - Andrée Putman (1925-2013)
