Majorelle's "Nénuphars" studio was acclaimed as one of the most attractive creations of Art Nouveau. The furniture, which has a unified tautness of line, is finished with a spare decoration of waterlily fittings. Nénuphar is the name of the Egyptian waterlily. It is an ideal fulfilment of the contemporary yearning for mysterious symbolism. Since ancient times, waterlilies have been associated with divine majesty, immortality, and religion, the symbol of everlasting nature.
