Marcel Gascoin (24 August 1907 – 29 October 1986) was a designer who specialized in modular storage units and sets of matching furniture. He played a major role in the emergence of French design after World War II (1939–45). Several of Gascoin's apprentices went on to distinguished careers as designers in their own right. ==Early years== Marcel Gascoin was born on 24 August 1907 in Le Havre. His father and grandfather were both mariners, and from a young age he was interested in the precision of a boat's interior design. He studied as an interior decorator at the ''École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs''. His teacher Henri Sauvage interested him in the search for a new architecture for public housing. He also trained at the ''Ecole des beaux-arts du Havre'' as a carpenter and cabinet maker. Gascoin exhibited for the first time in 1930 at the ''Union des artistes modernes'' (UAM) at the recommendation of the well-known architect and designer Robert Mallet-Stevens. In 1934 he collaborated with Jean Prouvé in a craft competition to design a practical and aesthetically pleasing boat cabin. In 1936 he submitted school furniture in a UAM competition. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marcel Gascoin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
