Description
Lovely and very comfortable Artifort Groovy Chair (or "M" Chair), model F580. This model is designed by Pierre Paulin in 1966. These particular chairs are the very first edition with very nice curves, manufactured in the end of the 60's. They are completely restored with new fabric and new foam by a French Pierre Paulin specialist, they are in perfect condition. Both chairs are reupholstered with a stunning wool fabric. This fabric is original from the 80's and has never been used. We bought it from a retired upholsterer, the quality is amazing. The price is for one chair, there are 2 chairs available. Both chairs are in perfect condition. It is also possible to choose the color or fabric you want. We have the same chairs unrestored on stock. We work with professional upholsterers and specialists. Please ask for the options. Pierre Paulin (1927-2009) was a French furniture designer, influenced by the Scandinavian aesthetic, as well as by American prefabrication design. Important is his background in sculpting and stone carving which is the reason why his designs are often opulent and expressive. With the signature organic curves that features in many of his pieces. In 1954 he started a collaboration with Thonet. In 1958, Artifort's head of design Kho Liang Le recruited Pierre Paulin – his designs are still produced by Artifort today. Paulin said of his time at the company: “It represented the first full expression of my abilities. I considered the manufacture of chairs to be rather primitive and I was trying to think up new processes.” With his high profile, he went on to redecorate the rooms of the Elysée's private apartments for Pompidou and furnish the office of François Mitterrand. In November 2009, he was posthumously awarded the distinction of 'Royal Designer for Industry'.
