About André Sornay

André Sornay (1902–2000) was a French designer from Lyon who transformed his family's furniture workshop towards a more modern and rational approach. His work is closely associated with the use of standardized elements and modular construction.

He is known for his 'cloutage' technique, using brass nails to create linear patterns on veneered surfaces, and for developing demountable furniture systems. With his Tigette system (1953), he introduced a method of assembling furniture through rods and panels, allowing pieces to be easily constructed and taken apart.
