Three plastic houses – Hexacube, Bulle, Futuro House – will serve as showcases to present important pieces of designer plastic furniture. The Hexacube (1972) by Georges Candilis and (1913–1995) Anja Blomstedt (b. 1937) is a beach-side colony which delighted generations of holidaymakers before being dismantled. Luckily it was saved form annihilation, and the exemplar on shoe – unique by its colour red – was purchased from a former collaborator of Candilis. The Bulle six coques by French designer Jean-Benjamin Maneval (1923–1986), launched in 1968, another Flower Power-period icon. Two units are part of the exhibition: one is owned by aficionado-restorer Jean-Baptiste Moutte, head of Relax Factory, and it is the only known example complete with its original interior fit-out. The other, which is little more than a shell, is being fully reconditioned and visitors are able to monitor its restoration on-site.
