Roger Tallon has passed: Portrait of a non-standard designer

par le avr.12, 2012, sous Designers

Roger Tallon, who died on October the 20th was considered by specialists as the father of the French modern design. For him, the purpose naturally called the form. An idea that can be observed through out his work. That paradigm allowed Tallon to be responsable for some very original creations and design concepts. He was the inventor of a profession: industrial designer. We lost a visionary man strongly inspired by his time leaving us as an heritage with many cult objects such as television Téléavia(1963), the spiral staircase (1966), the folding chair TS (1978). His work was not limited to interior objects but also included major projects such as the TGV or the Corail train(1986). Finally he represented also the watch brand Lip and iy incarnated on of its strongest signs of renewal, its entering into a new area of modernism and useful soaked and stained with 70 years of amazing achievements such as the  »Mach 2000″ (1975) for Lip.
