Ozoo 700 Chair and Desk by Marc Berthier for DAN, France, 1970s

The OZOO 700 chair and desk embody a futuristic and bold design. Made of molded polyester reinforced with fiberglass, they are distinguished by their fluid curves and minimalist look. These iconic pieces from the 1970s illustrate innovation in the use of plastic. Distributed by the company Diffusion d'Ameublement Nordique (DAN), sold by Roche Bobois, Galeries Lafayette and Prisunic, the OZOO 700 collection was presented at the Eurodomus exhibition, organized by Gio Ponti's Domus magazine in Milan in 1970.
