Jules Bouy (France 1872 - 1937 USA) was a designer and metalworker who introduced the popular Art Moderne style to many American clients. Initially working as a decorator in New York and selling works by Edgar Brandt, Bouy started his own design firm in 1928 and created whole interiors for notable clients like Lillie P. Bliss. Numerous works by Bouy are in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
