Set of two iconic "Concorde" F780 lounge chairs designed by Pierre Paulin for Artifort, Netherlands, 1960s.
Originally designed for the waiting areas of the French Concorde aircraft, the F780 is one of Paulin's most recognizable models: a low, sculptural chair with a soft, continuous line that seems to float above the base.
This set features warm red wool upholstery on white lacquered sleds, a powerful combination of warmth and graphic clarity.
The chairs are generously and comfortably seated, yet have a light and elegant appearance. Perfect for a refined living room, reading nook, or hotel/gallery space.
