By the 1920s we see a number of new designers often commissioned by well known firms. Christofle was very receptive to the Art Deco style and commissioned such artists as Gio Pontti, Christian Fjerdingstad, Jean Serriere, Maurice daurat , Gaston Dubois, Luc Lanel and Paul Fallot to design for them. Other firms like Tetard Freres followed suit. The most important of all of these was Jean E Puiforcat and next to him undoubtely, the most influential silversmith was Georg Jensen.
