Le Rebelle: Céramique Subversive

Coming soon

Archive note

A French product advertisement for a ceramic figurine—a cool cat in sunglasses and leather jacket, posed against a street lamp—positioned as a deliberately kitsch object with underground credentials. The tagline 'Inconnu. Cool. Éternel.' ('Unknown. Cool. Eternal.') suggests this piece circulated in 1950s bohemian circles as an ironic talisman of feline rebellion. A artifact for collectors of mid-century design satire and the aesthetics of deliberate bad taste reclaimed as high camp.

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.
