Émile Gallé
In the 1890s many of the Majorelle works were designed by his collaborators, Jacques Grüber and Camille Gauthier. Majorelle often worked in collaboration with the Nancy glass designer Émile Gallé. In 1898 a prominent Nancy architect, Lucien Weissemburger, joined his firm. More and more, however, he made his own designs. He designed not only woodwork, but also the fittings and decoration in bronze and other metals, and also made decorative ironwork. His ironwork creations included the elegant Art Nouveau stairway railing of the Galeries Lafayette Department Store in Paris (1900).
