François Schoenlaub Guillemette L'Hoir Paris Postmodern Memphis Geometric Marbled Pearlized Milky White Infused Emerald Green Swirl Rhodoid Square Pierced Earrings
Materials and Features:
Postmodern Memphis Material DNA: A masterful display of premium-grade, high-density Rhodoid (cellulose acetate). This specialty material features an internal pearlized milky shimmer woven with a fluid emerald green swirl that runs unbroken over all faces and wraps seamlessly around the edges.
Sculpted Asymmetrical Architecture: Hand-finished with a distinct high-relief 5mm central doming that tapers to non-matching 2mm and 3mm dimensions at opposite crossing corner junctions, a deliberate design trait engineered to bounce light dynamically.
Avant-Garde Studio Silhouette: A bold 1" x 1" square profile that perfectly captures the high-contrast, playful geometric energy of the 1980's Parisian design scene.
Acoustic & Tactile Density: Boasting a solid 7g total weight, these earrings possess a premium, glass-like weight and structural rigidity that modern mass-market resins or acrylics cannot duplicate.
Type: Pierced earrings with standard round metal post-stud pad plate assemblies
Age/Origin: Circa 1981–1985 / Paris, France
Marks: Unmarked (Attributed to François Schoenlaub for Guillemette L'Hoir Paris based on signature non-matching corner tapers, hand-polished fluid edge design, and proprietary Rhodoid material palette)
Other: The Guillemette L'Hoir studio intentionally left many of their boutique gallery and export collections completely unsigned, choosing instead to distribute them on original branded card stock or paper hangtags. This preserved the smooth, sculptural integrity of the hand-polished reverse planes and protected the delicate high-density acetate blocks from the structural stress of heavy factory die-stamping tools.
Measurements:
Weight: 7g (combined pair mass)
Thickness: 5mm (at thickest domed center point)
Dimensions: Approx. 1” x 1”
Condition: Excellent Archival Condition. The hand-sculpted Rhodoid surface maintains a high-gloss, mirror-smooth luster with zero clouding, scratching, or surface separation. The reverse metal post-stud assemblies remain perfectly stable and securely bonded within their clean, clear, uniform adhesive layers.
