Louis PAOLOZZI Louis PAOLOZZI is often associated with the reconstruction movement that animated France in the immediate post-war period. His furniture is characterized by its supple forms, playing with offsets and broken lines that are reminiscent of the Italian production of the time. In collaboration with editors such as René GODFRID, ZOL or Monopoly, Louis PAOLOZZI develops a style that is both graphic and functional, with a pronounced attention to detail. His creations thus seek a strong visual effect, notably obtained by structures underlined by an accentuated contrast of materials.
