Jacques Lamy Collection
The Jacques Lamy Collection was designed exclusively for Archiped by the French artist and Prix de Rome de Peinture recipient Jacques Lamy. The thirty-three piece collection includes benches, urns, pedestals and planters with sleek, strong, seamless lines. Thirteen of the pieces are Asian inspired, yet the collection transcends style boundaries and complements both traditional and contemporary décor.
Born in Paris and raised in the heart of an idyllic French countryside near the Loire Valley, Jacques Lamy completed his formal artistic training at the prestigious Ecole Nationale Superieur des Arts Decoratifs (Paris) in 1971. While there, he received the highest peer recognition in European Arts, the coveted Prix de Rome award for painting and later, the Silver Medal for Industrial Design.
Mr. Lamy's career as an artist, designer and art teacher has taken him from his native France to life abroad in Spain, Africa and the United States. He has taught at the Casa de Velasquez in Madrid, the National Institute of Art in Senegal, in France and in the Untied States. His work may be found in exhibitions throughout the world, including the Jesuit Art Museum.
