Louis-Jean-Sylvestre Majorelleusually known simply as Louis Majorelle, (Toul, 26 September 1859 – Nancy, 15 January 1926) was a French decorator and furniture designer who manufactured his own designs, in the French tradition of the ébéniste
He was one of the outstanding designers of furniture in the Art Nouveau style, and after 1901 formally served as one of the vice-presidents of the École de Nancy
After WWI Majorelle relocated to Paris for the remainder of the war, where he worked in the workshops of fellow furniture designers. After the war, he reopened the factory and his shop, and continued to collaborate with the Daum glassworks and produce furniture, though these late designs show the stiffened geometry of Art Deco.
