Made for the exceptional hotel of Mercedes Saavedra Zelaya, one of the most distinguished families of Argentina. The decoration orders for the Hotel Horizonte, in Mar del Plata, were received by Comte during Jean-Michel stay in Argentina. Many of the decorative items from lamps to beds and tables were iconic models of Frank, made by Comte in 1940-41.

Jean-Michel Frank. 1895-1941
Working in Paris, New York and Argentina, Jean-Michel Frank designed subtle, exquisitely proportioned furniture and lighting for sophisticated interiors. His elite roster of patrons included the vicomte Charles de Noailles, the businessman and politician Nelson A. Rockefeller, the couturier Elsa Schiaparelli and the perfumer Guerlain, among many others. Against the backdrop of the interwar period, Frank designed calm, subdued interiors that offered refuge from the chaotic world. His furniture, which was often clad in vellum, bleached leather or shagreen, featured clean lines and served to complement the art collections of his clients, which included works by Picasso, Léger and Matisse.
