L'Inconnue De '62

Coming soon

Archive note

French-language design object poster advertising a porcelain figurine of an unnamed woman, dated 1962. The figure holds a delicate chain, rendered in pristine white ceramic against a cream ground. The tagline—'Subversivement Chic. En Porcelaine.'—positions the object as deliberately transgressive luxury. Provenance unknown; recovered from a Parisian design archive. Appeals to collectors of mid-century modernist kitsch and forgotten industrial design.

Catalogued, not yet released. This artifact will become available to acquire soon.

One artifact. One owner. On acquisition it is permanently retired from the archive. You receive the high-resolution file and a signed certificate of exclusivity.
