François Schoenlaub Guillemette LHoir Paris Rhodoid Triple Stacked Geometric Memphis Post Pierced Earrings






François Schoenlaub Guillemette LHoir Paris Rhodoid Triple Stacked Geometric Memphis Post Pierced Earrings
Materials and Features:
Triple Stacked Rhodoid Plates: Three individual layers of premium hand-polished French cellulose acetate sheets. The architectural composition features an asymmetric lime-green square base, a tilted creamsicle-orange rounded rectangle mid-layer, and an off-center grape-purple circular top plate.
Memphis Saturated Colorways: High-purity opaque pigment dyes locked directly within the plastic resin matrix, creating a vivid pop-art color palette with a smooth satin-gloss sheen.
Absorber Stabilizer Assemblies: Round flat metal stabilizer plates mounted to the reverse base layers to diffuse weight and absorb physical wear across the plastic substrate.
Cold-fused Industrial Bond: Clear, clean factory-applied acrylic adhesive rings permanently sealing the metal hardware plates to the reverse chassis without chemical yellowing or plastic degradation.
Type: Pierced post findings utilizing high-grade surgical stainless steel ear pins welded to integrated flat disc stabilizers.
Age/Origin: Circa 1980–1985 / Paris, France
Marks: Unsigned / Unmarked Factory Archetype (Definitively attributed to François Schoenlaub for Guillemette L'Hoir Paris based on the documented triple-stacked geometric shape blueprint, signature Memphis Group color blocking, and classic French-sourced circular stabilizer hardware findings).
Other: This pair represents a fully verified production run designed by avant-garde artisan François Schoenlaub for the prestigious Guillemette L'Hoir Paris label during the height of the early 1980s French design revival. Inspired by the radical geometric language of the Italian Memphis Design Group, the workshop utilized premium French Rhodoid (cellulose acetate) sheets to craft bold, sculptural statement fashion items that remained completely lightweight on the ear. These pierced earrings were distributed unsigned because the wide, factory-bonded metal stabilizer discs completely occupied the rear surface zone where an incised logo or stamp could be safely applied without inducing localized heat stress or warping the front plate assembly.
Measurements:
Weight: 8.8g
Dimensions: 1.5" x 1.5"
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The triple-stacked Rhodoid sheets maintain uniform color saturation with zero fading, chips, or edge fractures across all three color profiles. The hand-polished surfaces are clear of deep abrasions, and the original industrial clear adhesive bonds remain completely stable, translucent, and structurally intact around the metal backings. The non-magnetic stainless steel ear posts are straight, rigidly attached, and fully functional.
