Designer Desire: Lefor Openo

Welcome to our new blog series, ‘Designer Desire’, where we’ll feature one designer per week whose work we love. We’re kicking off with Lefor Openo who we’ve mentioned once or twice before.

Lefor Openo is the pseudonym of French illustrators Marie-Claire Lefort and Marie-Francine Oppeneau. The two women worked together to produce some amazing poster art during the 1950s and 1960s. They met while studying art in Paris and began working together collaboratively in the mid 1950s. Their subjects ranged from working with the French government, Electriticy of France (or EDF; an example of which is shown here), advertising, and film posters. At some point, they even created dolls, dishware and textires based on their drawings.

Their style is reminiscent of someone like Mary Blair, with a fantastic graphic sensibility, bright colors and simplified shapes. I wish I could find more information about them! Please send it my way if you have it (or if you speak French, help a girl out with some of these websites that I can't read or make sense of). Regardless, I am a big fan of their style and am very excited to learn more about these women.
