Shop the Artifort Orange Slice: designer vitamins for your interior: Pierre Paulin
In 1927, designer Pierre Paulin was introduced to the technique of bending plywood. Almost a hundred years later, we are still in awe of this discovery. After all, it brought us the 'Orange Slice': one of the most sought-after design armchairs in the world. Because of its playful look and high quality, this armchair is loved by interior designers and collectors all over the world. And the nice thing is: from every angle, the Orange Slice looks different.
Artifort orange slice second-hand
The Orange Slice by Artifort is also available second-hand with a huge range of beautiful colours, in fabric and leather. Iconic for any living room or lobby, and even more beautiful in a group of Orange Slices. Then the chair seems to change shape from every angle. The armchair is available in two seat heights.
Sitting on orange wedges
The name 'Orange Slice' is a wink. Not the color (although it is also available in orange), but the shape. If you look closely, you will see that this armchair resembles two orange segments. The original name of the Orange Slice is F437, the footstool is known as the P437. The design consists of two identical upholstered shells that fold around the seating area. The seat rests on a base of chrome or powder-coated steel.
Artifort orange slice replica
De Artifort orange slice stoel is immens populair, waardoor de stoel in grote aantallen gekopieerd worden, oftewel replica’s. De echte in 1960 voor Artifort door Pierre Paulin ontworpen stoel heeft als identificatiekenmerk F437. Hij bestaat uit twee volkomen identieke schelpen (doen denken aan twee sinaasappelpartjes) van geperst beukenhout afgedekt met vormschuim, en heeft een verchroomd metalen buis onderstel.
Bij de reproducties staat eigenlijk altijd aangegeven dat ze dat zijn, en geïnspireerd zijn door Paulin. Ze hebben een roestvrijstalen onderstel, en de kleuren zijn doffer.
Designed by Pierre Paulin
If you poke around on our website more often, you will probably have come across the name Pierre Paulin. In addition to the Orange Slice, Paulin has also designed many other pieces of furniture for Artifort. Paulin made a great impression on Kho Liang le, Artifort's aesthetic advisor at the time, during an international furniture show. The show-stopping item? A bucket seat. And he has made a lot of them in the years at Artifort. One of our favorites is the F437 Orange Slice. Design vitamins for your interior!
