70s-inspired objects created for the occasion
“Initially, we planned to work with a single creator. Ultimately, we decided to work with everyone we had spotted at Paris Design Week in September 2023,” explains Cécile Coquelet, creative director at Monoprix. Nine creators – Fleur Delesalle, Benjamin Guedj, Julien Sebban from Studio Uchronia, Pierre Gonalons, Rebecca Benichou, Florence Jallet from Batiik Studio, Jean-Pierre and Maryvonne Garrault and finally Henri Delors – are thus in the spotlight.
Benjamin Guedj created lamps for the occasion glossy in acid colors. The Uchronia studio offers curvy pieces in pink and orange colors. Fleur Delasalle has imagined a variation of her Marigold bench into a voluminous armchair with rounded shapes and her Némésis pedestal table has been adapted into a stool. Pierre Gonalons has designed a range of small furniture in a style Art Deco and retrofuturistic. Batiik Studio has designed a wooden chair.
The famous metal and glass floor lamp by Jean-Pierre Garrault and his partner Henri Delord, an emblematic duo of French design, is one of the flagship pieces of the collection. Lighting fixtures, stools, crockery and even rugs with seventies designs by Jean-Pierre Garrault, as well as a lamp available in several colors created with his wife Maryvonne, are also to be discovered. Please note, quantities are (very) limited.
