About the designer: Michel Cadestin was born in France in 1942. He is an interior designer and architect and through his work, he wishes to offer a functional and fun design accessible to the majority. A prolific designer, he has experienced with diverse forms and materials during his career. His creations are varied as evidenced by the furniture intended for the Center Georges Pompidou, such as the Karate armchair (1960s) and the Orchidée lounge chair. Cadestin studied at the famous Ecole Boulle and the National School of Decorative Arts. Following his graduation, he joined the Society of Decorative Artists. In 1970, he met Christian Ragot with whom he began researching materials such as latex foam and plastic and together, they developed concepts of housing. Cadestin had also worked for an interior design firm named Teda until 1983. He then decided to create his own firm to continue creating furniture and home furnishings. During his career, he has teamed up with Daniel Bernard with whom he designed many pieces of furniture. Cadestin worked in the art department of 1984 movie, Full Moon in Paris, in which his designs appear. In 1988, Cadestin was awarded the René Gabriel Prize for his work (so far). Today, the French designer focuses his work on interior architecture.

- “Orchidée” Lounge Chair by Michel Cadestin for Airborne, France, 1968By Michel CadestinLocated in Utrecht, NLThis large fiberglass lounge chair, the “Orchidée” was one of the Cadestin models that were ordered by the Centre Pompidou Museum. The design dates to 1968 and was manufactured by Airborne International. This chair stands out both in terms of size, as well as its design. While the fiberglass base provides a modern look, the upholstered seat, back and armrests give the chair a cosy feel. With the folding top of the seat and armrests, the chair resembles the shape of an orchid flower, which is where the model’s name derives from. The chair has been reupholstered in a cognac colored full aniline leather, which gives a nice contrast to the white fiberglass base. Thanks to its impressive size and soft fabric, this chair is perfect for lounging while also adding an eye-catching visual element to any space. Among the models Cadestin designed for the Center Georges Pompidou, the Orchid is one of the most outstanding pieces. Condition: In good vintage condition. Some minor scratches on the fiberglass base. Recently reupholstered in premium aniline leather.
