Biography of Maison Jansen in Paris:
Maison Jansen is a Paris-based interior design house. It was founded in 1880 by Dutchman Jean-Henri Jansen. Maison Jansen is regarded as the first global design firm to turn its name into a brand, offering its services in Europe, Latin America, North America and the Middle East. In the early 1940s, Maison Jansen set up its own workshops on 17,000 m2 rue Saint Sabin in Paris. Throughout its history, the firm has employed the traditional European style of design, but has also followed European trends in this field, notably Viennese Secession, Modernism and Art Deco, which were developed by the firm between 1920 and 1950. Under Boudin's direction, Maison Jansen worked for the royal families of Belgium, Iran and Serbia, as well as for the White House under the administration of John F. Kennedy...
