About the Item
Lounge chair in skai, metal and wood by Roger Tallon, Technès, 1966
Roger Tallon is one of France's most important and prolific designers. Born in Paris in 1929, he played an essential role in the development of the industrial design profession in France, from the post-war period until his death in 2011. Throughout his life, he was responsible for the creation of over 400 diverse and innovative designs, from one of the first portable televisions to the TGV and other models for Eurostar.
From 1944 to 1950, Tallon studied engineering. After graduating, however, he embarked on a career in design, working briefly as a design consultant for Caterpillar and DuPont in France. In 1953, he joined the design consultancy Technès, which he left in 1973 to set up his own design agency, Design Programmes SA.
Tallon believed that quality design is rooted in rational problem-solving rather than artistic expression; the goal of design should be nothing other than societal advancement. Realizing that his profession was relatively unknown in France, Tallon sought to propagate the word "design" into the French vernacular. In the late 1950s, he founded the first French design course at the École des Arts Appliqués in Paris, then the design department of the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in 1963.
Tallon was awarded the Grand Prix de la Création Industrielle in 1985 and the insignia of Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres by the President of SNCF in 1992. In 2008, he donated all his files and records - including drawings, technical plans, photographs and patent applications - to the Arts Décoratifs de Paris, which organized a major Tallon retrospective in 2016.
Tallon passed away in 2011.
