Marc Desplaines (American, b. 1960) for Antoine Proulx Dining Table, Phoenix, Arizona, c. 1995, wood, ht. 30, wd. closed 66, two leaves each 18, dp. 42 in.
Note: Antoine Proulx was founded in 1992 by Marc Desplaines. The Antoine Proulx collection of handcrafted furniture was designed by Marc out of his frustration at not being able to find what he was looking for in the market. As fate would have it, his brother Richard Desplaines was already established as a master furniture maker with nearly 20 years' experience producing one-of-a-kind pieces for designers and architects. The two brothers cemented a design/build relationship which would land their furniture in prestigious magazines such as
Interior Design,
Progressive Architecture,
I.D., and the
New York Times. The name, Antoine Proulx, is derived from the brothersÆ paternal grandmother, Antoinette Proulx, whose father was a builder of fine homes in New England at the turn of the twentieth century.
