Modular furniture, Didier Rozaffy, wood and glass, 1960s – France
Spectacular modular furniture, designed by French designer Didier Rozaffy, 1960s. It consists of two distinct pieces that can be placed separately or stacked on top of each other. The design reflects the functionality and visual clarity of the modernism of that decade. It is characterized by its geometric shape, with a rectangular front and square sides. It stands on four short, narrow, square legs. The sliding glass doors are lacquered in black, white, and yellow, adding a touch of color and dynamism. Inside each module, a shelf facilitates storage.
Didier Rozaffy, pioneer of detachable and modular furniture
Didier Rozaffy is known for pioneering the concept of "decomposable design." He was active during the French postwar period, between 1940 and 1960. He collaborated with the French furniture company OSCAR and became a key designer in the field of functional furniture.
Due to the devastation caused by World War II, France needed to build both furniture and homes for the victims, in addition to repairing the damage to infrastructure and industries. Rozaffy saw his opportunity in this context to create furniture that could be easily disassembled and assembled without nails or screws. Therefore, his designs are characterized by functionality and the optimization of small spaces, as well as the fusion of architecture and furniture.
The "Commission du meuble de France" was a group made up of decorators, furniture makers, commercial companies, artisans, designers, and engineers whose goal was to produce furniture to enrich the lives of victims. However, Rozaffy's philosophy was that it should be disassembled so that both space and storage could be utilized. The Oscar company, for which he worked, received the silver medal at the 10th Triennale in Milan in 1953 and was recognized for its quality.
