Émile Gallé
The city of Nancy in Lorraine became the other French capital of the new style. In 1901, the "Alliance provinciale des industries d'art", also known as the "École de Nancy", was founded, dedicated to upsetting the hierarchy that put painting and sculpture above the decorative arts. The major artists working there included the glass vase and lamp creators Émile Gallé, the Daum brothers in glass design, and the designer Louis Majorelle, who created furniture with graceful floral and vegetal forms. The architect Henri Sauvage brought the new architectural style to Nancy with his Villa Majorelle in 1902.
