Adrian Audoux and Frida Minet were a French modernist design duo active during the 1940s and 50s. Their work focused on accessible materials and technologies suited to modern life. They were members of the Union des Artistes Modernes — UAM — founded in 1929 alongside Charlotte Perriand, Francis Jourdain, and Pierre Chareau as a reaction against the UAM's predecessor, the Société des Artistes Décorateurs, which catered primarily to wealthy Parisian clientele.

Their creations reflect the democratic desire to bring good and playful design to everyday clientele . Today it resonates with its use of natural materiel and simple design bringing a respite from our overproduced environment .

Taride was a map company editing in activity after WW2 to the 1980 .
