Designed by famous influential pop artist, Louis Durot, this lounge chair is sure to make a statement. Constructed of polyurethane and lacquer, this chair is truly a functional work of art. This chair, aptly titled Langue Assuse, is his tongue lounge chair. This chair features a bright blue color with black accents and is very sculptural in nature. While this chair is indeed very bold, it's a wonderful conversation piece that will definitely add a spice to any more "vanilla" or blasé environment. As photographed, the chair looks wonderful with the Vladimir Kagan cloud sofa. We have the chair currently in the gallery with other pieces of furniture by Olivier Mourgue and Pierre Paulin, and not only does this chair hold its own, it makes a statement. This chair would look wonderful in any mid century modern, modern or contemporary post-modern environment. Louis Durot, born 1939, is a French pop artist who narrowly escaped deportation in 1943 by missing the train to Auschwitz. Gathered in Magagnosque ( Alpes-Maritimes ), it is there that he discovered the pleasure of sculpting the earth and making objects from it. In 1960, he enrolled at the Faculty of Science, where he obtained a diploma in “propaedeutics – Maths 1 Mécagène”. In 1963, he became a "gluer" for two months and then an engineer at Equipiel, where he was responsible for calculations and resistance measurements to develop prototypes of nuclear power plants. When the French branch was abandoned and became a research company, Equipiel offered him a one-year training in organic chemistry. Between 1966 and 1972, Louis Durot was at the head of a dozen research contracts. In 1964, Louis Durot founded the Freelane Studio which aims to bring together artists from various disciplines with common artistic expectations. The Freelane Studio thus brought together the jazz journalist Gilles Brinon, the painter Jean Ihallero, Maxime Defert... It was thanks to them that Louis Durot met the painter François Arnal , who introduced him to the French sculptor César in 1966. Louis Durot becomes César's assistant for a year, in order to put his qualities as a chemical engineer at his service. In César's studio, he improves his knowledge of polyurethane foam and the artist's foam creations, his expansions. Thanks to César, Louis Durot met Pierre Restany (founder and mentor of the New Realists group founded in 1960), Arman and Robert Malaval...
