Odile Mir

French designer born in the 1920s and largely self-taught, Odile Mir created furniture, lighting and objects in the 1960s and 1970s, working mainly in chrome, stainless steel and Plexiglas. Her pieces combine technical rigour with an elegant, often sculptural simplicity. Long overlooked, her work has been rediscovered through reissues by LOMM Editions, founded by her granddaughter, and original pieces are increasingly sought after.
