It is at the foot of lake nantua, not far from oyonnax. His story is not trivial. It all began in 1948 when henry massonnet took over the family comb factory, the stamp company. As he is a great fisherman, he will specialize in plastic fishing equipment. So he made seals, coolers and in 1968, he had the idea of making a light, plastic stool for fishermen, the famous tam-tam. Originally it was a stool for fishing Yes, but as it was very practical (we opened from above and hid things in it), and it was not expensive (10 francs, 1.50 euros at the time), we began to find it everywhere. Sales really exploded when brigitte bardot was photographed sitting on it. From there, the tam-tam sold more than 12 million copies worldwide. Today, it has become a cult object, an icon of the 1970s. It can even be found at the museum of modern art in new york and the museum of deco arts in paris. There are also plenty of copies today Yes, it is the ransom of success. Many are made in china, but the original, from the famous mold n°169 is still made in nurieux.
