Each of these waves of designers and (interior) architect has their owned challenges and requirements. For example, the Post-War/Reconstruction style designers were very human-centric to arrange smaller and smaller living spaces practically and conveniently.
Jacques Hiter played a key role to bridge the Post-War/Reconstruction style and the other movements from 1950 starting with the industrial design. This role of transmitter is important among Jacques Hitier’s achievements, especially through his journey at L’école Boulle.
