Jean Garçon (1928-2010) was trained as a graphic designer and creator of logotypes. Close to the style of a Paul Colin, he began in the 1950s with making card games, first figurative then geometric and abstract, for major brands such as Lanvin, Knoll and Cardin.

In the 1960s, his interest in decorative arts and metal, combined with his minimalist approach, led him to create a series of steel furniture with rigorous graphics, some of them presented at the Musée des arts décoratifs in Paris, and that attracted aesthetes such as Karl Lagerfeld. A man of his time, he explored thermoformed plastic in the 1970s, with Formag company, to draw useful objects while developing his refined decorative vocabulary in the field of jewellery. Alongside Din Vanh and Murat, he created rings, pendants, bracelets and daring body jewellery.
