Note du spécialiste

Cf: Jean Royère, Jansen Exhibition Catalogue, Paris, 1985, pl. 29
Designed for the French delegation in Finland in 1951, this suite was originally known as boule or haricot. However it soon attained the nickname ours (bear) for obvious reasons, its furry and imposing proportions inviting comparison with a large animal paw.
