A mythical figure of French design, Pierre Paulin became famous for having designed President Georges Pompidou's apartment at the Elysée Palace and the furniture for the Louvre. Advocating “integrated design”, he created a new relationship with interior architecture. Its Mushroom, Tongue, Ribbon, Tulip and Orange Slice chairs - all in foam covered with colored jersey - offer a range of rigorous but organic, functional and voluptuous forms. Paulin's creations perfectly symbolize the sixties and seventies and foreshadow the evolution of design. They have become cult objects, anchored in our collective unconscious.
