Details: Lefor-Openo created this buvard (blotting paper) design for EDF.

Lefor-Openo was the pseudonym of French illustrators Marie-Claire Lefort and Marie-Francine Oppeneau. They met while studying at Lycée Claude-Bernard Paris, and collaborated on many posters and advertising illustrations between 1955 and 1967.

After Lefort died in 1971, Oppeneau continued work as an art gallery owner. She opened a gallery in Paris in 1990 which she named Lefor-Openo in honour of her friend and creative partner.
