The life of François Monnet  

François Monnet is a French archietct and designer born in 1946.

Not many details are known about his personal life and academic background.

He follows in the footsteps of some of the 20th century's iconic designers advocating minimalism, simplicity and clean, elegant curves ; such as Jean Prouvé, Raymond Subes, le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand, although the latter worked mainly in wood.

His production began in 1968, even before he graduated as an architect. His most famous pieces of furniture are his chauffeuses, his stainless steel chairs, with their timeless, discreet and elegant look, and his coffee tables designed for the glass-steel mix, a combination that can be surprising but has a discreet, minimalist look, blending into any interior.
