Lac Decoret was a French artist, designer, and upholsterer. He is best known for his work in the Art Déco movement of the 1920s and 1930s. Decoret collaborated with others, including Amédée Ozenfant, a French painter and avant-garde theorist.

In 1924, Decoret established Ateliers de Mecanique Precise, an artisanal workshop in Paris. He also created ceramics and designed buildings and interior spaces. His designs typically featured geometric shapes, vibrant colors, and fluid lines. Lac Decoret's work was characterized by its functionality, sophistication, and high level of craftsmanship.

Amédée Ozenfant and others saw the relationship between paint and sculpture. Lac Decoret was at the forefront of this perception, displaying his items in exhibitions. These were rudimentary structures, in itself fairly distinct from prior compositions.

Following the 1940 occupation of France by Nazi forces, works of Decoret and his collaborators were often destroyed or seized. Accordingly, a number of his pieces can now be found in museums in countries that were not under German control. Some of Lac Decoret's designs and architectural creations were done with his co-collaborator and friend, Ozenfant, the French painter.

Works attributed to Lac Decoret are now held in museums in Canada and the United States, along with several museums in France and the U.K..
