Julien Hébert, pioneer in the emergence of design in Quebec, left his mark on the fields of furniture, space planning, exhibition design, graphics, and was the mentor of numerous designers, including Michel Dallaire . Many of his works are famous, and some are significant milestones in public space: Expo 67 logo, ceiling of the National Arts Center in Ottawa, furniture and space of Canada at Expo 67, murals of the Place-Saint-Métro Henri and the Wilfrid-Pelletier room... This exhaustive work retraces the career of the “father of Quebec design”, while addressing the contemporary repercussions linked to his work. It is enriched with numerous photographs, illustrations, drawings and archival documents. From the pen of Martin Racine, a whole era, marked by the beginnings of design and the quest for beautiful objects in Quebec, comes to life.
