Maurice Marty (born in Paris in 1935) is a French designer, interior architect, and artist whose multifaceted career bridges furniture, sculpture, and interior design. Trained at the École des Arts Appliqués, he established himself in Montparnasse among artists such as César, Arman, and Tinguely. From the early 1960s, he developed innovative creations ranging from the widely distributed “boom-twist” boomerang to modular furniture and luminous sculptural pieces. He designed emblematic interiors including the smoking room of the ocean liner France, the first Benetton store in 1969, Armani’s Paris boutique in 1975, and Jean-Paul Gaultier’s boutique in 1986, while also collaborating with editors like Roche Bobois on iconic models such as the plexiglass PLI chair. Known for his bold use of geometry, modularity, and inventive construction systems, Marty has registered multiple patents and produced works that blur the line between design and sculpture. His rare pieces, some exhibited by galleries such as Meubles et Lumières and the Twenty First Gallery in New York, are today recognized as distinctive contributions to postwar French design.
