About the Item
René-Jean Caillette, born on September 22, 1919 in Fay-aux-Loges (Loiret) and died on September 19, 2004 in Sens1, was a French decorator and designer.
After the Second World War, his work focused on the democratization of mass-produced furniture, followed by industrial publishing in the international style. He taught at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs and ESAG Penninghen in Paris from 1974 to 1980.
René-Jean Caillette's early involvement with manufacturers and distributors of mass-produced furniture led him and Marcel Gascoin, in 1953, to found the very first designers' association in France: the Association des créateurs de modèles de série (ACMS), whose aim was to promote modern furniture, protect models and set sales prices. ACMS also played a key role in promoting mass-produced furniture at the Salon des arts ménagers until the 1960s4.
After this pioneering period, René-Jean Caillette went on to create other remarkable pieces of furniture, expanding to include other publishers, such as the "Diamand" chair in 1957, winner of the Grand Prix at the 1958 World's Fair, published by Louis Maillet, and the "Coccinelle" chair in polyester and fiberglass in various colors, published by Steiner from the same year.
Today, his pieces bear witness to the "aesthetic and formal transformations that revolutionized seating design in France in the 1950s".
