Dialogue lounge chair, 1967

Dialogue was born in 1967 at the Atelier de Recherche et de Création of the Mobilier national, at the request of the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs. Its first series furnished the ministry's honorary lounge and the office of Simone Veil.

André Monpoix gave it a language of its own: generous curves, white slatted sides, modules that stand alone or meet to form a sofa of any length. Source Édition reissues it in partnership with the Mobilier national, crafted in Europe.
