hello everybody i am here again to infodump about a random subject that no one else cares about but i think is interesting and want to share
Jacques Carelman (born 1929 - died 2012) was a french painter, illustrator and designer. he has done many things in his life but the thing hes most known for is his book, "Catalogue d'objets introuvables" sometimes translated to "Catalog of fantastic things", or more accurately, "Catalogue of Unfindable Objects", first made in 1969 as a parody of the catalog of the french mail order company Manufrance.
as in what he was specifically parodying were mail order catalogues. common at the time, these were paper publications that showcased various cool and new everyday objects that the readers could order to buy from the mail (the old time equivalent of shopping on amazon)
what his book did, however, was illustrate an entire catalog of objects that are completely nonsense, absurd, useless, and as a whole either impossible to use or unnecessarily hard to, for no reason at all. possibly his own commentary on the consumerist culture of the time that motivated regular people to incessantly buy more and more superfluous objects for everyday use
some of the objects featured in the catalog include:
the famous Carelman Teapot, called by himself "Coffeepot for Masochistics", featured on the cover for "The Design of Everyday Things", book still studied to this day by designer majors
the bathtub with a door, to be easier to get in and out :)
the retro watch
the co-op glasses, for a good shared reading
the free pdf for the entire book with all objects can be found here, which is in italian because its the only pdf i could find. i think its a fun experience to skim through and just check all the weird shit in it!
finally, jacques carelman had some of the objects of his catalog actually made in real life and exhibited from november 1974 to january 1975 in La Vieille Charité, a museum in Marseille, France. heres a video i could find of the exhibition:
#had to rewrite this entire post cause tumblr ate it at first. is it truly worth it#anyways maybe thats not super cool for everyone else but i thought it was interesting! finding that pdf was a hassle#the catalog#<- for me to find it

Les japonais fabriquent des vélos, Manufrance ferme. Les japonais fabriquent des voitures, Renault va fermer. Si un jour les japonais fabriquent du camembert et du vin rouge, il faudra fermer la France. - Coluche Béziers, Hérault.
