Henry Massonnet:

Designer, entrepreneur, and avid art collector, Henri Massonnet took over the family comb manufacturing business, Stamp, in 1948, relocating it to Nurieux, in the commune of Mornay. Creator of a new plastic molding process, he designed the famous Tam Tam stool in 1968, manufactured by Stamp.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Massonnet designed furniture for major French companies such as Airborne, Steiner, and Mobilier International. He is particularly known for his tubular steel chairs and armchairs, which were very popular at the time.

In addition to his furniture work, Massonnet also worked on interior design projects for public and private buildings, including Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle Airport in Paris.

Massonnet received numerous awards for his work, including the Gold Medal from the French Academy of Architecture in 1958 and the Silver Medal at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. This piece has an attribution mark,
