This freestanding telephone booth is a creation of the French brand Pil (Plastiques Industriels de la Loire). Representative of the bold, utilitarian aesthetic of its era, this sculptural piece is distinguished by its fluid lines and vibrant color, offering a true testament to French industrial design.
Manufactured in Saint-Étienne, France, the main structure is made of molded polyester in a deep red, topped with a protective visor of transparent plexiglass. The entire structure rests on a sturdy light gray metal base, ensuring optimal stability while emphasizing its architectural appeal. The original manufacturer's identification plate is still present inside the booth, attesting to its provenance and authenticity.
The piece is in good overall condition, retaining all its original structural integrity and functionality. It displays an authentic patina that testifies to its past use in public spaces, adding to its industrial character.
Ideal for adding an unusual and historical touch to a contemporary interior, this telephone booth fits perfectly in a loft, a creative workspace, or an entryway. It makes a striking focal point, easily complementing modernist furniture or space-inspired décor.
