The two designers met while working for French designer Raymond Loewy. In 1962, they decided to found their own industrial design company, Philippon & Lecoq, in Paris.
Their work was influenced by the Italian industrial design movement, in particular by the creations of designers Achille Castiglioni and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni.
The duo designed a wide variety of products, ranging from domestic objects such as lamps and kitchen utensils to electronic products such as televisions and radios. Their work was often characterized by a minimalist, functional style, with an emphasis on the use of modern materials such as plastic.
Philippon & Lecoq won numerous awards for their work, including the prestigious Compasso d'Oro prize in Italy in 1964.
Although their company was dissolved in the 1980s, Philippon & Lecoq's creations continue to be sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts worldwide for their timeless aesthetic and functional ingenuity.
