Michel Buffet<\/a> was still a student back in the early 1950s when he began creating the lighting designs for which he is best known. \u201cI was not interested in direct light but in how a source could be reflected and diffused off a surface,\u201d he recalls, speaking with The Study<\/em> over tea in Paris. \u201cIt was more about creating an ambience.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made from white-lacquered sheet metal and varnished brass, the dozen or so models he designed are strikingly sculptural, consisting of an assemblage of rounded forms partly inspired by the architecture of Oscar Niemeyer. \u201cThe thing I like about them,\u201d says John Ballon, of Two Enlighten Los Angeles<\/a>, \u201cis that they\u2019re folded almost like origami. They\u2019re ingenious, simple and very clean.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pieces \u2014 first presented in 1953 at two trade fairs in Paris’s Grand Palais \u2014 were manufactured for only about five or six years. \u201cBack then, modern design didn\u2019t interest many people,\u201d notes Buffet. He still clearly remembers going to Steph Simon\u2019s shop on the boulevard Saint-Germain, which stocked the work of Jean Prouv\u00e9<\/a>, Charlotte Perriand<\/a> and Georges Jouve<\/a>, and asking the proprietor if he would be interested in representing him, too. \u201cNo way!\u201d replied Simon. \u201cIt\u2019s hard enough to sell what I already have!\u201d Buffet was undeterred. \u201cI was young and simply happy that my drawings had been turned into objects,\u201d he says. \u201cI wasn\u2019t concerned about how much I\u2019d earn or what they\u2019d become.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it happens, they have received renewed interest over the past decade. Seven of Buffet\u2019s vintage models have been reedited by the French firm Lignes de D\u00e9marcation <\/em>and are complemented by a new table lamp called B 213, which he conceived in 2013. He has also made his way onto the radar of design aficionados. \u201cHe\u2019s emerging as the next Serge Mouille<\/a>,\u201d remarks Ballon. Further attention is coming his way through the release of a precisely structured monograph devoted to his career by Guillemette Delaporte, former head of the 20th-century department at Paris\u2019s Mus\u00e9e des Arts D\u00e9coratifs.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the age of 87, Buffet is very much going strong. We are speaking at the Japanese tearoom Toraya, close to the Place de la Concorde, which serendipitously turns out to be opposite a building housing offices where he worked for a short time when he was fresh out of college. His mind is still as sharp as a knife, his body spritely, and his sense of humor firmly intact. \u201cHe\u2019s very cultured, extremely curious and constantly on the go,\u201d notes Delaporte.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buffet was born in Paris on November 1, 1931, and initially envisioned a career as a painter. \u201cI saw myself like C\u00e9zanne, wandering about the countryside with a box of colors on my back,\u201d he recounts. His family had other ideas, however, insisting he pursue a more serious m\u00e9tier. He enrolled at the \u00c9cole national sup\u00e9rieure des Arts D\u00e9coratifs, where he was taught by Louis Sognot<\/a>, one of the founders of the Union des artistes modernes movement. \u201cHe was a delicious man,\u201d Buffet tells me. \u201cI can hear his reedy voice in my ear as if he were still here.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Buffet’s early years, he designed not only lighting but also a smattering of furniture. The latter included a lounge chair \u2014 created with his classmate Jacques Debaigts \u2014 that was exhibited at the 1954 Milan Triennale and a bentwood chair that Marcel Breuer<\/a> considered using to furnish the Unesco headquarters in Paris. A turning point in Buffet\u2019s life came in 1953 when his mother, a buyer for the Galeries Lafayette department store, offered him a copy of Raymond Loewy\u2019s book Never Leave Well Enough Alone<\/em>. \u201cI said to myself, \u2018That\u2019s what I want to do,\u2019 \u201d remembers Buffet. \u201cI saw that everything could be designed better and sold better.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buffet joined Loewy\u2019s French firm, CEI, in 1956 and, with the exception of a couple of years at Knoll, stayed there until he founded his own company, Vecteur design industriel, in 1985. The Paris-born Loewy was already a star when Buffet met him. Called \u201cthe father of industrial design,\u201d he had made a name for himself in the United States, where he reimagined the Shell sign and the U.S. Postal Service symbol, designed Coke dispensers and Greyhound buses and even worked on Skylab for NASA. Buffet recalls his first sighting of Loewy, alighting from an automobile of his own design (\u201cIt was extravagant, like nothing else you\u2019ve ever seen\u201d), and describes him as \u201ccharming,\u201d \u201ca marvelous communicator\u201d and \u201cpugnacious.\u201d Relations between the two men, however, were never easy. \u201cI think he was on the verge of sacking me at least fifteen times,\u201d says Buffet. \u201cHe would stick his oar in without really knowing about our clients\u2019 expectations. Still, he must have liked me, because I ended up staying for quite some time.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of projects on which Buffet worked were related to transport. Among these were the interiors of both the Falcon 20 (France\u2019s first private jet) and the Concorde. Other commissions included modular service stations for Shell, the Caracas metro, French trains, the signage for the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle <\/em>and the control rooms of the Eurotunnel. \u201cThe luck that I had in my life was to have a succession of exceptional projects that were never the same,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the way, Buffet became friendly with other French designers, such as Roger Tallon<\/a> and Pierre Guariche<\/a>, whose work enjoys greater popularity today, and one has to wonder if Buffet regrets having largely stopped designing furniture and objects. \u201cYou should never regret anything,\u201d he insists. \u201cI went on to do other things instead. You have before you a man who was very happy professionally.\u201d
