To Enchant The Eye: The Luminous Color of Jean Royère” is on view 14-20 May 2026 in conjunction with NYCxDESIGN and the Oui Design festival organized by Villa Albertine.
For renowned 20th-century décorateur-ensemblier Jean Royère, to create a “harmonious spectacle to enchant the eye, rejoice the heart and elevate the spirit” was his raison d’être.
This spring, Royère Gallery New York presents an exhibition celebrating Jean Royère’s exuberant use of color in a collection of iconic and newly released archival pieces. A master of color as well as of form, Jean Royère embraced a wide spectrum of hues ranging from vibrant primaries and dusty jewel tones to quieter, pastel palettes often in unconventional combinations.
Referencing the palettes found in his realized interiors as well as gouache illustrations developed for projects around the world, the installation brings a fresh perspective to well-known works, reflecting the creative freedom and joie de vivre that are the hallmarks of Jean Royère’s whimsical yet elegant designs.
