Description
In the heart of Brittany , on the Pink Granite Coast, Lannion reveals a little-known face: that of a town inspired byArt Deco.
Between the wars, the town was transformed and adopted the codes of this artistic movement, which emerged at the start of the 20th century and spread widely in the 1920s. Inherited from the1925 International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Paris, Art Deco made a name for itself with its geometric lines, refined volumes and stylised decorations.
In Brittany, this style found a singular echo with the “ Seiz Breur ” group. These artists and craftsmen set out to modernise Breton design by drawing on ancient popular arts, which they reinterpreted in architecture and the decorative arts. This meeting of modernity and heritage gave rise to geometric facades and stylised motifs, all driven by the same ambition: to embellish everyday life without denying their references.
This flash tour of Lannion invites you to spot the traces ofArt Deco in the urban landscape and discover the influence of the Seiz Breur on the city. It’s an original way to explore Lannion, where heritage, creativity and architectural details tell a different story about Brittany.
