    Tulip Lounge Chair

    Tulip Lounge Chair

    *****SHIPS IN 8-12 WEEKS*****

    Design Pierre Paulin, 1965
    Upholstery, polished swivel base, chrome
    Made in Holland by Artifort

    The Tulip armchair for Artifort…. as if designer Pierre Paulin had premonitions of Flower Power! The simple Tulip spreads its half-open petals around the sitter, inviting and warming at the same time. The stately Tulip is an eminently comfortable armchair. With its matching footstool, it makes a strong and yet exceptionally comfortable combination. 

    Tulip chair collection

    Artifort still includes many of Paulin’s designs dating from 1960s and 1970s in its permanent collection. This collection will grow further based on a meticulous search within our rich archives to reintroduce, from time to time. In 2003, the Tulip was reintroduced in the Artifort collection. The Tulip armchair is available with swivelling disk base or metal-strip cross-base. 

    Pierre Paulin (1927) made a considerable impression with a contemporary shell fauteuil, at an international furniture show organised by Kho Liang le. Shortly after the show, he became a freelance designer for Artifort. This marked the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration. What makes his designs so distinctive is their striking sculptural shape, which earned Paulin many prizes worldwide. His work remains timeless and progressive even today. This is not form for form’s sake but applied design. With comfort as the constant starting-point. Artifort still includes many of Paulin’s designs dating from the nineteen-sixties and seventies in its permanent collection. His work can be admired in museums throughout the world. Apart from furniture, he also designed interiors for the French presidents Pompidou and Mitterrand in the Elysée Palace in Paris. Pierre Paulin died on 13 June 2009 in a hospital in Montpellier (France). The French president Sarkozy honoured him as "the man who made design an art". In November 2009, Paulin was posthumously awarded the distinction of "Royal Designer for Industry" (RDI).
