Pierre Paulin

Many designs of the Mid-Century era were way ahead of their time, but none so than those of the French furniture designer, Pierre Paulin. Combining visionary ideas, unique materials and new construction techniques, Paulin's body of work is exciting, revolutionary and above all the epitome of modern design.

In 1968, Paulin collaborated with Le Mobilier National and began taking on commissions for important government projects, including both the furniture and interiors for the Elysee Palace in Paris. Also at this time, he began experimenting with other media, such as creating and designing home appliances. He was finally becoming recognized as an amazing talent in the design world, but still his designs were way ahead of their time.

Homeowners looking to add a little Pierre Paulin into their homes would best benefit from adding one of his many chair designs to a space, of which you have many to choose from. Though his catalogue of work is prolific, some of his most recognizable designs are the Tulip and Little Tulip chairs, Globe and Little Globe Chairs, Ribbon Chair, Mushroom Chair and Tongue Chair. Characterized by neat shapes and soft, almost plush covered frames, Paulin's furniture designs are easily recognizable and comfortable too!
