Eric Schmitt

Eric Schmitt 1955.

Eric Schmitt manages-with amazing dexterity-to please, and indeed, to fascinate two fastidious groups who are widely divergent in their taste : those who wish that craftsmen made things like they used to, and those who wish design would not linger towards the past.
Fusing the past and the future, Eric Schmitt has formed quite a present.
While hewing closely to the clean geometries and planes of Modernism, Eric Schmitt cannot resist a curve. His wit and playfulness always get the best of him, and his work gets the best of it : a sober dedication to good design and love of materials burnished with a patina of charm and cleverness. Bronze, marble, alabaster, or bohemian glass, heavy stuff that he succeeds to turn to peaceful and quiet objects that draws your hand to a caress.
