The most iconic chair 💯 The Monobloc chair became popular because it was cheap, lightweight, weather-resistant, and easy to manufacture. It’s made from a single mold of polypropylene plastic, which means production is quick and inexpensive. Factories around the world could adapt the basic design, making millions of copies without needing complicated licensing agreements. This helped the chair spread rapidly across continents, from backyards in Europe to street markets in Africa, and beaches in South America. Its design can be traced back to the 1940s and 1950s experiments with molded plastics, but it really took off in the 1970s when manufacturing technology advanced enough to make the Monobloc efficiently. While several designers — like Canadian designer D.C. Simpson and French designer Henry Massonnet — are sometimes mentioned in connection with early versions, no one person is officially credited. This adds to its “mystery” status. Despite being criticized in some places for its “cheap” look, it’s admired by designers and architects for being an almost perfect example of form following function: a chair that does exactly what it needs to do, for almost anyone, anywhere.
