Maison Jansen, founded in 1880 by Dutch-born Jean-Henri Jansen, was one of the first global interior design firms, renowned for its blend of traditional and modern styles. Headquartered in Paris, the firm quickly became a symbol of high-end, luxurious interior design, serving royalty, aristocrats, and the world's elite over nearly a century. Maison Jansen’s signature approach combined classical European styles with contemporary influences, creating interiors that were opulent yet tasteful, timeless yet modern. The firm was particularly known for its eclecticism, seamlessly incorporating elements from different periods and cultures to create sophisticated and harmonious interiors. Its work spanned various styles, from Louis XVI and Empire to Art Deco and modernist influences, allowing Maison Jansen to cater to the varied tastes of an elite clientele. One of the most iconic projects by Maison Jansen was the redecoration of the White House under Jacqueline Kennedy's supervision in the early 1960s, which established the firm's legacy in America. Additionally, the firm designed for many of Europe’s royal families, including work for the Dutch, Belgian, and Iranian courts, as well as numerous other high-profile clients, from hotels to embassies. Maison Jansen’s interiors were characterized by their attention to detail, impeccable craftsmanship, and the use of luxurious materials such as fine wood, marble, silk, and gilding. The firm employed highly skilled artisans and collaborated with talented craftsmen and artists, ensuring the highest standards of quality in every project. Though Maison Jansen officially closed its doors in 1989, its work continues to be highly regarded. Its influence is still felt in the world of interior design, with pieces and styles created by the firm fetching high prices at auctions and being sought after by collectors worldwide. The firm's legacy lies in its ability to harmonize tradition and modernity, creating timeless designs that are as relevant today as they were in the 20th century.
