Last weekend I visited a vintage market. My attention was drawn to the interest of collectors in these small plastics figurines molded in the 50’s. I asked myself what could be the sources of this enthusiasm for these plastic souvenirs that I think are simply a reflection of a period full of optimism for industrial progress. By doing some research, I found the dream of making on-demand …
