Pierre Giraudon was born in 1923 in Paris. After studying botany and biology. In 1949 he moved to Canada where he was appointed to the Institute of Biology in Montreal. At that time, the inclusion of specimens in transparent plastic was developed in the United States. The purpose of this new technique was above all educational: to make the plant and animal worlds accessible to all. Pierre Giraudon immediately saw all the possibilities that this new technique could offer. He returned to France and created the "Bioplastic Company" in 1953. He establishes a first catalog of 150 pieces approved by the National Education.
The neologism of "Bioplastie", designates a technique consisting in including in a synthetic material real elements coming from the vegetable, mineral or animal world. These cast and polished blocks have the transparency of glass. The enclosed and frozen elements are easily observable. There lies all the educational, scientific and artistic interest.
