Pierre Vandel was born on February 26, 1924, in Paris. He attended the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he honed his skills and developed a keen understanding of design principles. In the 1950s and 1960s, Vandel emerged as a prominent figure in the world of furniture design. In 1969, Vandel founded his own studio and soon developed a partnership with Pierre Cardin. Cardin supported him to create his own brand, Pierre Vandel - Paris, and then introduced him to French high society, who embrace his creations. His `Vertèbre` chair from 1972 is an iconic 20th century piece. He was heavily influenced by the mid-century modern movement, which emphasized clean lines, organic shapes, and the use of innovative materials. Vandel's designs often incorporated a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques, resulting in pieces that were not only functional but also aesthetically appealing.
