He completely revolutionised the company's production line, moving away from period furniture to create resolutely modern pieces. Influenced by Bauhaus and by the Stijl movement, which were both marked by the desire to synthesize art and architecture, Sornay belonged to a new generation of architects, artists and decorators who wanted to create new forms that were suited to modern life.<br /><br />The UAM <span style="font-weight: bold;">(Union of Modern Artists)</span> counted a number of avant-garde artists among its members, including Pierre Chareau, Francis Jourdain, Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand, all eager to break away from tradition and to democratise art. André Sornay's creations are characterised by pure geometric lines, harmonious proportions and great practicality.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.galeriemarcelpoil.com/index_uk.php?id_lng=2" style="font-style: italic;">(text taken from Gallery Marcelpoil Gallery Paris, here)</a><br /><br /><br />The materials he used reflect the traditional and the modern; they include precious woods, permatex, rubber, Duco lacquer and metal.<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> The clarity of his vision regarding the use of space prompted him to become an interior designer for a number of his local clients.

The individual seat may be equipped with or without arms and the table can be separated from the seats with arms. Furthermore, the wallmounted self-tipping seats are reduced to only 32 cm in depth.<br /><br />The modules are easy to rebuild or extend with more seats. For instance the table can be replaced with a seat, arms can be added or removed, and SeatDown can be extended indefinitely.
