Colette Gueden's name and work are closely associated with Primavera, the design studio of the Printemps chain of stores. Born in 1905 in Indochina. In 1923, Colette Gueden entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Saint-Etienne where she graduated three years later. In 1927 in Paris, she worked as a designer at Primavera alongside Claude Lévy, Gisèle Favre and Madeleine Sougez. Her style can be placed under the heading of "fantasy". This "fantasy" applies brilliantly to all projects: wallpapers, jewellery, ornaments and especially ceramics. In the 50's, Colette Gueden was able to adapt easily to new trends and was surrounded by a team of young designers coming out of art school: Alain Le Foll, Geneviève Pons, Peter Broc, who helped to organize small spring fairs (from 1950 to 1967) on various subjects: "Plein Air", "Printemps Galot", "Alcôve". Gueden Colette made drawings of ceramics created elsewhere by Pol Chambost, the workshops of Vallauris or those of Limoges. She also received prestigious commissions: she designed furniture for President Vincent Auriol, for the liner La Marseillaise (1949), she created large bas-reliefs decorated with still life. Colette Gueden worked at Primavera until 1972. Dimensions: Total height: 95 cm - 37,40 ". Seat height: 45 cm - 17.71 ". Width: 40 cm - 15.74 " wide Depth: 46 cm - 18.11 ".
