Galerie Downtown, founded by François Laffanour is a place of modernity and nonconformism. It bets on the energies of a veritable design anthology. By giving the public an opportunity to rediscover iconic pieces designed by le corbusier, Jean Prouvé, and Pierre Jeanneret, the gallery plays a twofold role and honors the creative sensibility, poetry, and avant-garde spirit of designs by Ettore Sottsass, George Nakashima, Takis, Byung Hoon ChoÏ, Charlotte Perriand and Ron Arad.
