Designed by Pierre Charpin for the ’MobiBoom’ exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs held at the end of 2010, which was dedicated to the explosion in French design between 1945 and 1975. Mobidec borrows design from the equestrian world - which, thanks to its identity as the guardian of artisanal tradition, is something of an enhancive sphere. Resembling a slightly truncated pommel horse (or a saddle), the bulk of the seat rests on a metal base which lifts it from the ground, the design of which is reminiscent of stirrups. A fabric strap, matching the footstool, encircles the seat, fixed to these ’stirrups’, and serves as a handle to enable Mobidec to be lifted and moved with ease.
