Pink TamTam Stamp stool

True and iconic pink tamtam from #stamp. It will make its effect in the bathroom, or in a room to carry a lamp! Medium condition: lid with a glued slot. —- 💡 a bit of history. 1968 is the date on which it was created by henry massonnet, in the small village of nurieux-volognat. It is at the foot of lake nantua, not very far from oyonnax. His story is not trivial. It all began in 1948 when henry massonnet took over the family comb factory, the stamp company. As he is a great fisherman, he will specialize in plastic fishing equipment. So he made seals, coolers and in 1968, he had the idea of making a light stool, made of plastic for fishermen, the famous tam-tam. Originally it was a stool for fishing. Yes, but as it was very practical (we opened from above and we hid things in it), and it was not expensive (10 francs, 1.50 euros at the time), we began to find it everywhere. Sales really exploded when brigitte bardot was photographed sitting on it. From there, the tam-tam has sold more than 12 million copies worldwide. Today, it has become a cult object, an icon of the 1970s. It can even be found at the museum of modern art in new york and the museum of deco arts in paris. There are also plenty of copies today. Yes, it is the price of success. Many are made in china, but the original, from the famous mold n°169 is still made in nurieux.
