Jean-Pierre Laporte

Jean-Pierre Laporte is a French designer who produced a distinctive body of furniture in the 1960s and 1970s, often edited under his own name. His seating and tables, such as the Esox chair, use moulded plastics, fibreglass and bold colours in fluid, pop inflected forms. His work has been the subject of a monograph covering ten years of creation. Collectors look for original pieces in good surface condition.
