Michel Arnoult e Mobília Contemporânea

Michel Arnoult was born in Paris in 1922. During the Second World War, his father managed to get him discharged from military service. Therefore, Michel was sent to Germany and began working in a furniture factory owned by a friend of his father. In this factory, he worked in the machinery section and in the administrative office, where he organized production, and thus learned about the workings of a furniture industry.

Back in France, he decided to become a furniture designer and went to study at the Camondo School (a technical and artistic center that aimed to train interior decorators).

While studying at that school, he won a contest whose prize was a job at a Mexican company, Bloch. And so he did in 1947.
