Mobi Boom: l’explosion du design en France (1945–75)

23 September 2010–2 January 2011

This exhibition explores the prodigious renaissance in furniture design in France from 1945 to 1975, in its creation, amnufacturing and marketing. The advent of new materials – foams, plastics, elastic meshes and Formica – prompted the emergence of new furniture catering to the needs of a comfort-conscious clientele.
The contribution of new talents, including Pierre Paulin, Olivier Mourgue, André Fermigier and Roger Tallon, and the importance of the design manufacturers, retailers and publishers (Roche-Bobois, Roset and Mobilier International) are explored in depth.
