French art deco Jacques Adnet terrestrial glass globe . More about Adnet :Jacques Adnet defines himself as an "innovator and classicist, a champion of the tradition leading toward the future." Infatuated with functionalism, he created solidly constructed furniture, very sober and often times completely lacking of all decor. There are still remincisings of ancient styles. A clear conception, logic and raffined materials make up the characteristics of production that Adnet frequently realized in collaboration with his younger brother Jean Adnet .
