He is best known for his role in the Art Nouveau movement, which emphasized organic forms and intricate designs. Majorelle's work often featured natural motifs, such as flowers and leaves, and he used high-quality materials, including wood and glass, to create elegant pieces. Majorelle founded his own workshop, where he produced furniture that combined craftsmanship with artistic flair. His designs were influential in the École de Nancy, a group of artists and designers dedicated to promoting the Art Nouveau style. Majorelle's legacy continues to inspire contemporary designers and collectors.
