The man who set up design companies all over the world declared, ''I am against decoration because everything that is strictly decorative goes out of fashion too quickly.''

這位在世界各地設立設計公司的男士宣稱：“我反對裝飾，因為一切純粹裝飾性的東西都會很快過時。”

ANTIQUES; Renaissance For a Quirky Designer

Nor was he the member of any camp. ''I'll never be attached to one school or one theory,'' he said. ''The words 'functional,' 'style,' 'contemporary,' have no meaning.''

Self-taught, Royere said all he was trying to do was create a ''harmonious spectacle to enchant the eye, rejoice the heart and elevate the spirit.''

他也不屬於任何陣營。「我永遠不會執著於某一流派或理論，」他說。 “‘功能性’、‘風格’、‘當代’這些詞沒有任何意義。” 自學成才的羅耶爾說，他所做的一切就是創造一種“和諧的景象，令人賞心悅目，愉悅心靈，提升精神。”

讓·魯瓦耶爾（Jean Royère，1902-1981）是法國二十世紀裝飾藝術的領導者之一。他汲取時代精神，並巧妙運用現代主義語匯，對比例、紋理和色彩的敏銳感知，將平凡的事物扭曲，轉化為獨具匠心、前所未見的藝術。他的設計展現出一種獨特的華麗與遐想，使他脫穎而出；他堅定地追求著與同儕截然不同的裝飾性方向。讓·魯瓦耶爾入行較晚，29歲時便放棄了進出口貿易的穩定工作，轉而投身設計行業。聰明務實、完全自主的讓·魯瓦耶爾在巴黎聖安托萬郊區的細木工坊開始了他的學習。這段教育經歷造就了他以傳統工藝為中心的設計理念，透過對製作工藝的深刻理解來實現創新。 Jean Royère 是一位室內裝潢師兼設計師，他為形形色色的客戶設計室內裝潢和家居擺設，客戶群從法國本地的醫生和律師，到中東的皇室貴族，不一而足。他最初透過自己於1942年在巴黎成立的代理機構開展業務，到20世紀50年代，他陸續在貝魯特、開羅、聖保羅、利馬和聖特羅佩等新興城市中心開設了辦公室和畫廊。他的設計靈感不僅源自於這些城市豐富的文化底蘊，也源自於他在法國和西班牙住宅周圍的自然風光。

Jean Royère (1902–1981) was one of the leading figures of French twentieth-century decorative arts. While absorbing the zeitgeist, and riffing on the modernist vocabulary, his sense of proportion, texture and colour twisted and turned the common into something original and theretofore unseen. His designs exhibited a degree of flamboyance and reverie that separated him from the pack; pursuing a steadfastly decorative direction in stark contrast to his peers.

Coming late to his métier, at the age of 29, Jean Royère left a secure job in the import-export trade to pursue a career in design. Intelligent, pragmatic and entirely self-directed, Jean Royère started his training in the cabinet-making workshops of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine district of Paris. This education resulted in an approach to design that was centered on traditional craft, allowing for innovation through an intricate understanding of making.

Jean Royère worked as a décorateur-ensemblier, designing both the interiors and the pieces that would furnish the spaces of his diverse clientele, from local doctors and lawyers in France, to middle-eastern royalty. Working first through his own agency in Paris, which opened in 1942, through the 1950s he opened offices and galleries in the new centers of Beirut, Cairo, Sao Paulo, Lima and Saint-Tropez. His designs took inspiration from these rich cultures as much as from the nature surrounding his homes in France and Spain.
