DESCRIPTION
A rare “Ribbon” chair and footstool, originally designed 1960s by Pierre Paulin for Artifort, France. Of sculptural form with lime green wool upholstery and white painted wood, these items are a true statement piece and a testament to Pierre Paulin’s skill, capable of designing a chair in the 1960s which looks as futuristic now as it did 60 years ago. Functional, comfortable and iconic, it is a fantastic way to bring contemporary art and function to any mid century or modern interior. This particular chair dates to the latter part of the 20th century and is offered in excellent original condition.
"A chair should be more than simply functional. It should be friendly, fun and colorful." -Pierre Paulin
Pierre Paulin studied stone carving and clay modeling at the Ecole Camondo in Paris in the early fifties where he began designing furniture for Thonet. In 1958, he became the designer for Artifort where he created a series of sculptural chairs with an inner structure of steel tubing, covered in foam and fabric. In 1968, Paulin collaborated with Le Mobilier National and received many important government commissions including furniture and interiors for the Elysee Palace in Paris.
