\u201cBernard Quentin what have you just done? Well I\u2019ve simply blown up a balloon and given it life. It\u2019s a simple envelope that takes a shape and evolves. Since I can\u2019t represent reality as I see it, I try in fact to apprehend in a tactile manner, the intimate rhythms, even the great cosmic rhythms and all the mystery of biology.\u201d<\/em> (Interview with Bernard Quentin, INA, 1968.)<\/strong><\/p>\nBernard Quentin\u2019s<\/strong> researches on pneumatic struc- tures bring him to be in the 1960\u2019s the first designer<\/strong> to conceive seats entirely inflatable and without holding structures<\/strong>. With this line of work he then develops, from 1966, the Molecul\u2019Air idea<\/strong>, infla- table structures made from an agglomeration of spheres, in the manner of a cloud of atoms suscep- tible to be transformed into a piece of furniture or even a house. His Molecul\u2019Air armchair<\/strong>, hybrid piece between sculpture and furniture expresses maybe better than any other work the poetry,<\/strong> the magic, and the futurism of Bernard Quentin\u2019s work.<\/strong> Artwork imagined in 1966, its technical complexity did not permit the edition of it till today. Beyond that, its innovative strength and crazy modernity have remained intact. With the idea in mind of revealingit to the great public, the artist wished to include it in the Art For All<\/strong> collection just before leaving us.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
