Philippe Decelle, Diane Hennebert and Pierre Loze

Philippe Decelle, Diane Hennebert and Pierre Loze: L'UTOPIE DU TOUT PLASTIQUE 1960 - 1973. Brussels: Fondation Pour L'Architecture, 1994. First edition. Text in French. A fine softcover book in stiff, printed wrappers. A surprisingly uncommon title.

9.25 x 11.25 softcover, perfect-bound book with 158 pages detailing the sixties and early seventies design explosion that included Furniture, fashion, radios, TVs, jewellery, office and household goods. Even though the text is in French, all objects shown are identified with their designer and/or manufacturer, the date of production, country of origin, dimensions and other relevant information.Need I say more?
