Christian Germanaz is a French designer associated with the renewal of furniture in plastic materials in the late 1960s. Trained at the \u00c9cole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure des Arts D\u00e9coratifs and then at the \u00c9cole Boulle sculpture workshop, he worked from 1960 in architect Ionel Schein\u2019s studio. In 1965, he joined the Airborne design office.<\/p>\n
At Airborne, Germanaz is developing the wheelchair Half & Half<\/em>, designed around a self-supporting composite structure. The project was shown in 1968 in the context of an exhibition devoted to contemporary seating at the Mus\u00e9e des Arts D\u00e9coratifs in Paris. Intended for both domestic and public spaces, the chair reflects contemporary research into fibreglass, moulded shells and continuous forms.<\/p>\n THE Half & Half<\/em> was produced in relatively limited numbers. Airborne archives document orange, grey and black versions in particular. The model is now representative of late-1960s French experimentation with furniture in synthetic materials.<\/p>\nCHRISTIAN GERMANAZ AT DIZAGN<\/h2>\n
