Marc Held: From Design to Architecture

Author of the plastic Prisunic bed and the Culbuto armchair published by Knoll, Marc Held is a key designer of the 1970s. L'Échoppe, his gallery on rue de Seine, symbolized the aspirations of a generation in terms of lifestyle and habitat. Postscripted by architectural historian Petros Martinidis, this work by Éric Germain reveals the roots of a work driven by the desire of a creator who was both classical and libertarian. From teak to all plastic, from large sailing ships to Renault cars, from steel houses to vernacular architecture, from the Élysée salons to IBM factories, the diversity of Marc Held's work finds its unity in a constant humanist concern.
