Product description
Very comfortable and cozy Artifort Mushroom Chair, designed by Pierre Paulin in the 60s. This particular chair is fabricated in the late 60s.
Recovered some years ago with stunning and high-quality wool fabric in the color red.
The fabric is still in very good condition (see the pictures).
It is also possible to choose the color or fabric you want. We have the same chairs unrestored in stock. We work with professional upholsterers and specialists. Please ask for the options.
Pierre Paulin (1927-2009) was a French furniture designer, influenced by the Scandinavian aesthetic, as well as by American prefabrication design. Important is his background in sculpting and stone carving, which is the reason why his designs are often opulent and expressive. With the signature organic curves that feature in many of his pieces. In 1954, he started a collaboration with Thonet. In 1958, Artifort’s head of design Kho Liang Le recruited Pierre Paulin – his designs are still produced by Artifort today. Paulin said of his time at the company: “It represented the first full expression of my abilities. I considered the manufacture of chairs to be rather primitive and I was trying to think up new processes.” With his high profile, he went on to redecorate the rooms of the Elysée’s private apartments for Pompidou and furnish the office of François Mitterrand. In November 2009, he was posthumously awarded the distinction of ‘Royal Designer for Industry.’
