Editorial Reviews

This hardcover book with 300 color pages presents the artist Gustave Serrurier-Bovy.
Gustave Serrurier-Bovy is an architect and Belgian decorator born in Liege in 1858 and died in Antwerp in 1910.
He is among the first representatives of the Art Nouveau in Europe. In 1894 in Brussels, he presents its first works, removed from the reminiscences of the old styles.
The work of Gustave Serrurier, more than fifty years before Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand, paved the way for contemporary design.
Born in Liège in 1858 and died in the same city in 1910, Gustave Serrurier, known as Serrurier-Bovy, is one of the most original figures of the Belgian avant-garde and of the international artistic renewal that characterizes the decorative arts and architecture of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Serrurier-Bovy will be known for his furniture, simple but refined, thus putting the esthetics available for everyone.
