"Radiaver" radiator

Designer Rene-Andre Coulon French
Manufacturer Saint-Gobain

Not on view

Coulon was a young architect commissioned to create new designs for the esteemed French glass manufacturer, Saint-Gobain. Many of these designs were showcased at the 1937 Exposition Internationale des Arts de Techniques dans la Vie Moderne in Paris, where the Saint-Gobain display featured not only Coulon's striking electric glass radiator, but also his armchair that featured the first use of tempered glass in furniture—creating the illusion of weightlessness and transparency.
