An Audoux Minet three arm rope chandelier, with looping arms and knotted central stem, surmounted by an inverted conical ceiling rose.

Adrian Audoux and Frida Minet were a prolific French Modernist designer duo active in the 1940s and 50s. Their design philosophy centered on utilising new, accessible materials and technologies to reflect modern life's realities. They belonged to the Union des Artistes Modernes (UAM), formed in 1929 by Modernist designers including Charlotte Perriand, Francis Jourdain, Louis Sognot, and Pierre Chareau. The UAM was established in opposition to the Société des Artistes Décorateurs (SAD), whose members, such as Follot, Dufrene, and Herbst, designed opulent pieces for Paris's wealthy elite, a practice that many UAM designers initially participated in before advocating for more accessible design.
