Galerie Jousse Entreprise, located in Paris, was founded on the pioneering vision of Philippe Jousse, who began his career in photography before dedicating himself to post-war design history. In the early 1980s, Jousse focused on elevating the work of modernist furniture designers who were then undervalued, such as Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand, and Pierre Jeanneret. This dedication culminated in a landmark 1987 retrospective for Charlotte Perriand, which solidified the gallery’s authoritative role in placing these significant pieces into major international private collections and museum holdings.

The gallery has since evolved, using its space as both a laboratory and a bridge to connect the worlds of collectible objects and fine art. While continuing to promote the foundational figures of post-war design, the program expanded in the 1990s to include contemporary emerging artists alongside ceramics by makers like Kristin McKirdy. Since establishing a new dedicated space in 2000, Galerie Jousse Entreprise treats the creation of furniture, sculpture, and painting as components of a unified artistic conversation, reflecting a commitment to an integrated aesthetic vision.
