A member of the Ar Seiz Breur movement, a close collaborator of René-Yves Creston and architects James Bouillé, Roger Le Flanchec and, of course, Le Corbusier, Joseph Savina worked alongside some of the greatest designers of the 20th century.
He produced a significant body of work, both as a designer of Seiz Breur furniture in 1925/1945, and as the initiator of a close and fruitful collaboration with Le Corbusier from 1935. The result was furniture and sculptures bearing the double JS-LC signature and, in the wake of the creations of Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Jeanneret, modern, streamlined furniture whose Breton character, sometimes merely hinted at, lies behind the power of its lines.
