PUMPKIN armchair

Presented: imm cologne 2008, Cologne | Year of design: 1971, 2008 | Design: Pierre Paulin

Home furniture › Seating furniture › armchairs

For the very first time, Pierre Paulin's 1971 design for seating for the private apartments of Claude & Georges Pompidou at the Elysée Palace is being put into large-scale production. Pumpkin is characteristic of Paulin's revolutionary style, as initiated at the end of the 1950's, and as its name suggests is evocative of a giant pumpkin, welcoming the user with its protectively voluptuous - and voluptuously protective - shell. Resisting its appeal is an impossibility!
