Louis Süe and Andre Mare are two French painters, architects, designers and decorators from the turn of the century. They co-founded the Compagnie des arts français, which produced Art Deco furniture and interior decorations for affluent customers. They also designed buildings and interiors.

In 1920 Süe and Mare founded the Compagnie des arts français (French Arts Company) and in 1921 published their first designs of rugs, furniture, wallpaper, tapestries, silverware and ceramics. The company employed many artists and craftsmen to meet the needs of their sophisticated and wealthy clientele for interior decoration. Their Art Deco works, typically with flower designs, were both elegant and practical.
