Jean Dudon, born in 1939, was a French designer known for his innovative and avant-garde furniture designs, particularly during the 1960s and 1970s. He was part of a generation of designers who radically transformed traditional design approaches by integrating modern materials and exploring sculptural forms. Using materials like plexiglass, fiberglass, and polyester, he successfully combined functionality with aesthetics, creating objects that were both practical and artistic.

Among his notable creations are pieces such as the "Selle" stool and sculptural fiberglass chairs, which have become reference points in design history. Jean Dudon also designed chairs and objects in metal and leather, often in limited editions or as unique pieces, showcasing his technical mastery and creative spirit. His collaborations with prestigious design houses such as Steiner and Roche and Bobois helped bring his work international recognition.

His work is characterized by a constant search for simplicity and elegance, as well as a boldness, particularly through the use of unconventional materials at the time. Living in Paris, in the Belleville district, he led a quiet life but was fully immersed in creativity. Today, although less publicized than some of his contemporaries, Jean Dudon’s work is increasingly sought after by collectors, reflecting the growing importance of his contributions to the history of design.
