Scarce promotional catalog for the French chemist, sculptor and designer Louis Durot, whose mastery of polyurethane produced a fantastical body of Pop and Radical furniture, self-published circa 2002. Large 4to (8.25 × 11.75 inches), single heavy, glossy sheet folded to four pages; illustrated throughout in color. Text in French and English. Catalog design by Muriel Charon.
llustrated designs include Hot Lips/L’Échauffeuse, Sexy Foot, Teeth of Love, Holy Seat, Well Raised Tongue, Tongue Table, Pray Devil, Seat on My Butt, Kiss Good Night, Club, Cool Back and Aspirale. Lips, tongues, teeth, feet, buttocks and disembodied limbs are transformed into functional sculpture—Durot’s self-described “art objects and toys for adults.”
The brochure’s saturated reds and oranges, translucent overlapping fields and attenuated typography extend the seamless, glossy character of the furniture into graphic form. Its listing of exhibitions in Beijing, Shanghai and Canton suggests production around Durot’s 2002 solo exhibition, Dreamy Toys in the Adult World, at the Guangdong Museum of Art. An ephemeral visual catalog of Durot’s erotic-anatomical furniture; no other copy located in commerce or readily identifiable institutional holdings at time of listing. Minor rubbing to extremities; otherwise near fine.
