Description:

The chair, which swivels, is made of a steel tubing frame padded with Polyurethane foam and covered with a fabric "skin" made of wool crepe and Spandex. It was designed for and manufactured by Artifort, a Dutch company. The model is still being produced by Artifort. Apart from furniture, Paulin also designed interiors for the French presidents Pompidou and Mitterrand in the Elysée Palace in Paris.
