Roger Tallon [1929-2011] is considered one of the greatest figures of French industrial design. He is the author of a multitude of projects in many fields of design, among the most emblematic:
- The M400 spiral staircase, now a benchmark of contemporary design
- The Téléavia P111 portable TV, a cult object exhibited at MoMA (NYC) and elsewhere
- Space Age Module 400 furniture series
- Cryptogamme stools for Mobilier National, in 1969
- Mach 2000 range of watches and chronographs for Lip
- The Derny Taon motorcycle in 1957.
- Fenwick-Aviation graphic identity
- TGV Atlantique and Eurostar for SNCF
- Montmartre funicular railway
- Mexico City metro for Alstom
- ArtPress magazine layout
As a consultant to General Motors' Frigidaire subsidiary in the U.S., Tallon designed refrigerators and washing machines, and created the company's design department.
In 1985, the French Ministry of Culture awarded him the Grand Prix National de la Création Industrielle. In 1992, he was awarded the insignia of Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres.
Close to the art world, Tallon also worked with Yves Klein, César and Arman.
