Maison Jansen in Paris:
Maison Jansen is an interior design house located in Paris. Founded in 1880 by Dutchman Jean-Henri Jansen, Maison Jansen is considered the first global design firm to brand its name, offering its services in Europe, Latin America, North America, and the Middle East.

In the early 1940s, Maison Jansen established its own studios on 17,000 m² on Rue Saint Sabin in Paris. Throughout its history, the firm employed the traditional European style of design but also followed European trends in this field, notably the Vienna Secession, Modernism and Art Deco, which were developed by the firm between 1920 and 1950.

Under Boudin's direction, Maison Jansen worked for the royal families of Belgium, Iran and Serbia but also for the White House under the administration of John F. Kennedy...
