The Centre Pompidou is showcasing the Traîneau chair, designed by Michel Cadestin in 1976, as part of its 'La Bataille des couleurs' exhibition. Created in collaboration with architects Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, the chair was originally designed for the museum's public spaces and the Bibliothèque publique d’information. The piece, which entered the Musée national d’art moderne collection in 2002, exemplifies the 'total design' philosophy integrated into the building's industrial architecture.
