Ferdinand Fillod Furniture

French, 1891-1956

Ferdinand Fillod (1891–1956) was a visionary French engineer and a "forgotten genius" of 20th-century architecture, often cited as a precursor to Jean Prouvé. Originally trained as a coppersmith in the Jura region, Fillod pivoted from manufacturing agricultural equipment to patenting revolutionary prefabricated steel buildings in 1929. His company, Constructions métalliques Fillod, shipped over three million square meters of structures globally, creating everything from schools and hospitals to research centers in Antarctica.

IKEA Before Its Time Fillod’s design philosophy was defined by "Meccano-like" simplicity; his kit-form structures were delivered with instruction manuals and could be assembled in mere hours. His ingenuity is best exemplified by the rare "Tropical Pavilion," a design featuring a unique double-roof system for ventilation that debuted in 1947. Despite his massive industrial success, Fillod remained an unsung hero of design—likely because he focused on functional structures rather than furniture—leaving behind a legacy of adaptable architecture that is only now being rediscovered.
