Description
Paulus (1919–1983) Armchair Fibreglass and gelcoat Produced by Société Parisienne de distribution plastique Date of creation: 1969 Extremely rare and strikingly powerful in form, Roger Landault’s two-seater Unibloc is one of the most representative objects of the French plastic utopia of the 1970s: a two-seater chair moulded in ABS as a single, monolithic piece, whose bright yellow colour powerfully affirms its place in an era of formal joy and creative optimism. The concept of the ‘Unibloc’ — an object formed from a single block, with no assembly or joints — is a manifesto of the design philosophy of that period. This piece is exceptionally rare on the international market: its condition and its appearance at public auction make this an unmissable opportunity for any collector of 1970s French plastic design. Roger Landault (1919–1983) A French designer little known to the general public but highly regarded by specialists, Roger Landault belongs to the generation of French designers who explored the formal possibilities of plastic in the 1960s and 1970s. His work on monobloc forms, building on the research of Olivier Mourgue and Marc Berthier, represents a little-known yet valuable chapter in French design from the Pop era.
