Product description
Modernist pencil and letter pot, sculpture in brushed aluminum. Desk accessory designed by Pierre Vandel, probably for Pierre Cardin, in the 1970s. Label "Pierre Vandel Made in France" under the base (see photo). Good condition. Biography: Pierre Vandel was born in Roubaix, France, in 1946. A designer known for his soberly designed furniture (table, desk, chair, lighting fixtures, etc.) created in the 1960s-1970s. He trained in assembly and industrial design, then joined the research team at the École nationale des ponts et chaussées and the École nationale supérieure des arts et métiers in Paris. Around 1969, his meeting with Pierre Cardin marked a decisive turning point in Pierre Vandel's career. From then on, his work would be seen the world over... a global success. On Pierre Cardin's advice, Pierre Vandel created his own brand, Pierre Vandel - Paris. He designed luxury furniture such as coffee tables, chairs, storage units and other objects produced in the 1970s and 1980s. Pierre Vandel's pieces feature smooth, polished lines in black lacquer, aluminum, Lucite and glass. The company still exists, but it's mainly the pieces produced in the 1970s and 1980s that are popular on the vintage market.
