Pierre Paulin

Legendary French furniture designer Pierre Paulin bestrode the 1960's and 70's with his recognizable and innovative style that instantly revolutionized everyday furniture.

A joyful modernist, Paulin's low-slung pieces provided a new laidback perspective on life and his forward-looking, eclectic and sculptural approach to furniture design instantly caught the mood of the swinging 60's. The hedonistic, sinuous style of Paulin's design also attracted the patronage of presidents Georges Pompidou and Franois Mitterrand, who asked him to redecorate parts of the Elyse Palace in the 1970's and 80's.
